Last night, HMM PTA hosted the Spring Spectacular and it was a hit! I sat back and observed the interactions between all the kids. I saw kindness and caring exhibited in many different ways. From the older kids taking care of and including the younger ones both on the dance floor and off, to the respect that they each showed to not only the adults but each other as well. I am so proud of the education that my children are receiving- through curriculum lessons and life lessons as well. Thank you to all- parents, students and PTA- that made this such an enjoyable event for our students!
