HMS science
On March 11, the seventh and eighth grade girls got the chance to participate in the Women in Science Conference held at the Northern State University campus. Women in Science brings over 300 students from the surrounding area to explore their interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics related careers. The students elected to participate so they could learn from prominent women in science and maybe discover a new career path.
The Huron Middle School Science Fair will be held on April 30 starting at 1 p.m. The students will present a project they will use to compete against grade level peers. Monetary awards and prizes will be available due to generous donations from these local businesses: Dairy Queen, Godfathers Pizza, Taco Johns, McDonalds and the HMS PTO. New this year is the addition of the Art & Cultural Fair which will correspond with the Science Fair. This activity is open to the public and we encourage everyone to come and support their favorite participant.

HMS music classes
In the general music classes, we have been learning all sorts of different things. The sixth and seventhgraders have been learning about different genres of music, working in groups to create music, and giving rhythm performances for the class. The eighthgraders have been learning the basics of guitar and end the class by having a solo performance of a well-known folk tune as well as a holiday jingle classic.
We had 23 students that went to Brookings on March 13 where they performed with 100 other students at Festival of Young Voices. It has been fun getting to know the new sixthgrade group and getting to know the new students who signed up in seventhand eighthgrade. All the groups have been working very hard since January to put on a great concert this Spring. We are all looking forward to our concert at Huron High School on April 14at 7 p.m.
