Christmas Gifts VS Experiences
By: Audrey Vick
Have you ever wondered if you would rather have an amazing experience than getting a gift, or vice versa, for Christmas? Here is the opinion of your fellow classmates on which is better.
Cali Earl believes “Vacations are better because the memories last longer and you can get closer to your family. Jorel Nugent also prefers wonderful experiences because he claims “I can visit cool places as a gift; I have received many gifts and none of them come close to the experiences I have instead.”
Jaycee Barlow prefers getting gifts because, “my whole family has always come to my house, and we are always together.”
Jakki Simmerman says, “gifts are the experience”.
Our school secretary Jody Ballard states quite clearly, Experiences, but not like vacations. More like experiences that touch the heart and remind you why we celebrate Christmas.”
Kya Malin likes getting gifts because: “I don’t really like to go on vacation. This year I’m probably going to use my Christmas gifts a lot, and I mean a lot. (well, if i get what I’m hoping for). For your sake let’s hope you get what you wished for Kya.
Ysabel Pettit enjoys gifts because::“me and my family go on vacations like twice a year so it isn’t as special and personalized as gifts.”
Madison Peck says that she prefers having the homey feel to Christmas.
“I love receiving gifts, it makes me feel loved that people took their
time to make/give me a holiday gift., says Amelia Gubler.
Georgie Holt would prefer experiences because in her words, “gifts can get lost but those memories ,from experiences, are forever.
All of these opinions are great! Which one do you agree with the most?
Whatever you do for the holidays, let’s hope it’s amazing and that you enjoy your Christmas break!
Funniest Christmas Stories
By: Jenna Sanders
We asked our students here at HMS for their FUNNIEST Christmas stories. Here are some of our favorite answers, Hope you’re ready for a laugh!
“Last year I woke up really early on Christmas day and I took all of my brother’s presents and hid them so I was the only to have presents. They were so upset it was
funny. My mom was not happy.”
–Jakki Simmerman, 9th grade
“My mom put flour between the stove and the tree and said it
was magic snow so my brother ate it and barfed.”
–Cooper Cannon, 8th grade
“We were celebrating Christmas at my house and there was wrapping paper everywhere and we couldn’t find the baby and she was under all the paper.”
–Ethan Martinez, 8th grade
“Last year, my brothers and I grabbed a box and wrapped it in duct tape for a few layers, we then put a box around that box, and more layers of duct tape. We put a total of 4 boxes over the first box with many layers of duct tape between the boxes. Christmas comes around and we give the gift to our
family member and after about a half hour of unwrapping it (We had a rule of not using tools), he makes it to the center of the first box, to
find…nothing. My older brother then leaves the room and comes back with his present. So moral of the
story, watching a family member
struggle to open a box, all for them just to receive their gift without any struggle, is a 10 out of 10 experience, I 100% recommend.”
–Kuira McGohan, 9th grade
“My sister was shaking a present to see if she could tell what it was, she said “This feels like a
good one!” she opened it to find multiplication flash cards.”
–Callie Hall, 8th grade
How To Be Responsible
By Cale Springer
Responsibility has a couple of meanings. One is to have a duty to do something. Another meaning is to be accountable or to take blame for something. A third meaning is
the ability to act independently and not be accountable to anyone.
These are from Google from the Oxford languages.
To be responsible you have to work hard, be quiet, and learn from your teachers. You also need
to turn in your work. You also need to take the consequences. You need to be honest and responsible. This means you need to hold yourself accountable for your actions.
You’re going to make mistakes, because everyone does.
By being responsible you can avoid negativity and stay persistent. Responsibility helps build self confidence and persistence. You also learn
to respect other people’s
opinions.
What Does it Mean To Be Respectful?
By: Tyler Stratton
Being respectful is an important aspect of life. Being respectful is a good trait that many people have but more need. Being respectful means showing attentiveness towards others while they are around you and listening to their advice.
According to 9th grader Jackson Smith being respectful means, “Not being mean to somebody else and doing what
they would like you to.”
This shows that you care about what they say and are willing to listen to them.
According to 8th grader
Emily Thomas it means, “Seeing both sides of an argument and showing sympathy towards
them.”
This shows you care about them as a person which tells
them they can trust you because you respect them.
Some people decide that
they will do something for someone else to show them they care and their respect for that individual. Some listen to what they say and give their opinion on the subject too. Being respectful is more than just an assignment, it is a lesson that everyone needs to
learn.
According to Preston Wright being respectful means, “You should care about each other, and help each other. Feeling or showing difference and accepting them because of that.”
This will show them that you are interested in them.
Being respectful is more
than some assignment that you do because it will benefit you. It is something that people will earn from you and show theirs for you. This is important and is something all people need to learn. It will help you in friendships, group projects, and work to name a
few.
Have you learned it yet?
Why Do We Wear Ugly Sweaters?
By Madison Ramirez
When you think of ugly
sweaters you think of Christmas, right? Or you think of the cute sweaters too, right? But what you don’t see is actual ugly sweaters. Why do
people call them ugly? They might be cute or funny but people still call them ugly.
Vanessa Friedman a journalist of The New York Times stated “What we really mean by ‘ugly Christmas sweater’ is ‘bad taste’…what is not in question is that all of this has helped transform what was
once a gently cheesy piece of mid century knit wear known as a ‘jingle bell sweater’” Yes
it’s true they were called jingle bell
sweater in the 70’ funny right? Bill Huxtable didn’t
think that. He was the inventor of the “jingle bell sweater” so don’t laugh at his face or he’ll “smack you silly” (Home Alone).
Ugly sweaters are a tradition in some families it might not be yours but it’s fun.
There are different kinds of sweaters like ones with actual bells and maybe a bow or reindeer antlers you never know. So if someone gives you an ugly Christmas sweater with a big bow that’s fine!
Just give them a “this is great but why?” smile. Have fun with this!
Is Dance Considered a Sport?
By: Macee Christensen
Is dance a sport?
People have a lot of different opinions and I have taken
the time to ask people around the school what their honest opinion is.
Avery Hadley says: “Dance is not a sport there is no ball or tools like almost every sport known.”
Alison Sanchez could agree, she states: “I think it’s not, you don’t do any running which is something you do in all sports.”
But not everybody is on
their side. Some students agree it is and is not a sport. “Yes and no because it’s a performance not a game like most sports are, but you are still moving around” says Blakesley Vargas.
Audrey Vick adds: “If you can do it as a profession and it involves physical activity then you can’t deny it is a sport. Besides, more people do it than some other sports.”
Riley Bennett claims: “It is quite utterly a sport, baby.”
Last, but not least, Annie Haycock says “Dance is a sport it is one of the hardest ways of expressing yourself by movement. You are exercising by doing beautiful movement it takes time to learn it is making you
move through expressional emotion to make a story performed in front of people just like a football game.”
As you can see, There are many different points of view and opinions when it comes to dance being a sport. But, according to The International Olympics Committee recognizes dance as a sport. Dance is an activity that requires hours of practice every day for several years to become a pro dancer.

2024-2025 HMS Digital Response to Intervention Plan
Digital Response to Intervention Plan for Hurricane Middle School updated for 2024-2025
|
School-Wide Digital Tool and Resource Use Expectations: |
|
As part of this plan, we are familiar with and will abide by policies:
|
|
Tier I Digital Teaching and Learning: |
|
● Teachers circulate through the class whenever students are using devices. ● Digital citizenship instruction is appropriately embedded into classroom lessons when technology is used as part of the lesson. ● All students have full access to school tools and software in classes. No restrictions are used/enabled via device management for any student. With the sole exception of secure testing, a whole class may never have their monitoring account locked to a site or site(s). The lock feature is to be used for intervention purposes when students have disregarded or violated school-wide digital tool and resource use expectations. Interventions will take into account specific circumstances as determined by school leadership and on a student-by-student basis. The lock feature is to be utilized exactly as outlined above and according to the consequences outlined below. ● Students could lose privileges for inappropriate use. ● Teachers and leaders will communicate with and teach stakeholders that the district monitoring system is used as a tool that supports and encourages effective teaching and appropriate digital tool and resource use. Teachers help learners choose to engage in high quality teaching and learning experiences. This helps learners develop the skills that will enable them to act as responsible citizens, employees and adults. |
|
Tier II Digital Teaching and Learning: |
|
● If a student disregards the school’s digital citizenship contract / policy 3700 during class, the student’s access will be restricted for the remainder of the class period. ● If the student continues to violate the digital citizenship contract / policy 3700 during subsequent classes, device access restrictions will be enabled until administration notifies the parent/guardian of the violation and a signed note* is returned. *Signed note form detailed below |
|
Tier III Digital Teaching and Learning: |
|
Administration Involvement: ● If a student disregards the school’s digital citizenship contract after teacher intervention, the teacher notifies the school administration of the problem. The administration notifies the parent/guardian. Device access restrictions are enabled on the student’s monitoring account until a signed note* is returned by the parent/guardian. ● If a student continues to disregard the school’s digital citizenship contract, after a parent note* has been signed, the administration notifies the parent/guardian that the student will be suspended from classroom device use for the remainder of the school year in all classes, with the exception of required testing. *Signed note form detailed below |
|
Legal Violations for Digital Teaching and Learning: |
|
● Regardless of where location violation occurred, the device is immediately confiscated whether it is a school or personal device. (Personal devices may be confiscated, but may not be searched without parental permission) ● The device is placed in a secure location and nothing is done to the device until the School Administrator receives instructions from the District’s Network and Security Manager (or authorized designee) or in the case of a personal device, it is retrieved by a parent or guardian. ● The student is sent immediately to school office. |
|
Student Personal Devices: |
|
● Student use of electronic devices is prohibited during class time, except at the specific request of the teacher for instructional purposes. Students are strongly encouraged to leave electronic devices at home. If a student chooses to bring electronic devices to school, they must remain out of sight and in silent mode or turned off during the entire class period. Students may, however, choose to access their electronic devices outside of the classroom, before school, during lunch, or after school. Devices are not allowed in the library at any time. |
|
Supporting Resources: |
|
● Unified Classroom curriculum modules and courses ● Impero Device Monitoring tool (used for monitoring with the intent to teach, not control) ● Parental Acknowledgement of Digital Citizenship Contract Violation |
|
Parental Acknowledgement of Digital Citizenship Contract Violation |
|
I, , understand that my student (print parent/guardian name) (print student name) has violated the digital citizenship contract (3700). If any further violations occur, my student will be suspended from classroom device use for the remainder of the school year in all classes, with the exception of required testing.
