ATTENTION HMS STUDENTS:
Student Council is pleased to host the Talent Show this December on either the 21st or 22nd. It will be a virtual talent show, so here's what you need to do:
1. Decide on what you want to share. Think about what your hobbies are, and share one with us! You are free to play music, dance, speech, sing, display works of art, juggle, do a comedy sketch, the list goes on. You are able to be a part of a group of up to four students in doing a talent. Make sure any song you sing or dance to has clean lyrics. Not "clean", but clean. No profanity or suggestive content. You are free to do this at home or anywhere outside of school.
2. Submit a three to five minute video of your particular talent to Mr. Sump, who will share it with the student council members for review.
3. The deadline for submitting your video will be December 9. The judging process will take place the next day.
4. If you are selected and you want to improve upon the particular performance you did, you are free to do that and resend it. Otherwise, the original piece will go into a video and shared with the teachers to show to their class on December 21 or 22.
5. There are no prizes or awards. This is not a competition.
Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

Mrs. Karuter's Counseling Corner:
This site is full of resources for not only the students at Hiawatha Middle School, but parents as well. Students and parents will be able to find resources that can help them while they are in the building or learning from a distance.
I have also linked all of my lessons for the students to view on the site as well in the student resources section. The lessons come from the Second Step Program we use as a district.
