Holgate Middle School

Reminder from Coach Osborne that there will be a MS boys basketball meeting in the Holgate Middle School Theater beginning at 5:30 pm TODAY for 7th and 8th grade boys. Please enter through the theater doors. Thank you!

On Monday, students from Holgate Middle School Student Senate and Central High School National Honor Society did some holiday shopping with local police officers to help people in need. Students bought Christmas gifts with the Aberdeen Police Department to fulfill Angel Tree wish lists. The effort was coordinated by the Holgate Student Senate, led by Mr. Greg Murley, and the Holgate student body raised the money to buy the gifts. Well done, students, and thank you, APD!

HMS students participated in Merry Tuba Christmas    

The 7th grade girls basketball team will not be traveling to Jamestown. The game scheduled for 12-8 has been cancelled.

HMS Parents/Guardians and Students, it is that time of the year when the Holgate Student Senate does a fundraising activity called Sabotage. We ask HMS students to bring in change and bills to help students in our community have a little better Christmas. Each Homeroom has a jug and putting change in the jug gets your homeroom positive points. If someone puts in bills, they are negative points. A penny is 1 point and one dollar is 100 points. The top team in each grade earns a pizza party and the top two homerooms will play in a dodgeball game on December 22nd. Also, for every $500 raised, we will draw a teachers name to be pied on December 22nd. Sabotage started on Monday, December 4th and will conclude on Friday, December 8th. Thank you for your support!!!

Join us for the Holgate Middle School Holiday Concert on Dec. 11 in the Holgate Gym! Sixth grade will perform at 5:30 p.m., and seventh and eighth grade will perform at 7 p.m. The concert is free and open to the public!
