Hancock Middle/High School

SENIOR WALK PICS The HCS Class of 2024 received their caps/gowns and walked the halls of the Elementary & Middle-High Schools yesterday morning! They were greeted with cheers and ovations from students and staff members from both buildings. We caught some pictures of them on their walk, one step closer to graduation!! #wildcatpride

PRE-K CELEBRATE WITH PIZZA Our Pre-Kindergarten students were the winners of the ‘Golden Trash Can’ award in the Elementary School this year! This award goes to the classroom kept in the best shape each day throughout the entire school year. Mr. Mitchell brought our Kindergarten boys and girls some pizza for their efforts, nice work students!! #wildcatpride

PRE-K & K CELEBRATE NATIONAL DONUT DAY This past Friday was National Donut Day and our Pre-K/Kindergarten students wanted to celebrate! Mrs. Hull and Mrs. Karcher’s classes read “Arnie The Doughnut” by Laurie Keller. Afterwards, they each got the opportunity to decorate and eat their own donut. Nice work, boys and girls. Those donuts look yummy!! #wildcatpride

MOVIE & PARK FUN Our Middle School students took a trip to AMC theaters to watch the movie IF on Friday! After the movie, they stopped by Otsiningo Park to enjoy the beautiful day! Thank you to Mr. Kelly for sending in some pictures! #wildcatpride

STUDENTS TRAVEL TO ANIMAL ADVENTURE Thank you to Mrs. Karcher and Mrs. Wormuth for sending us pictures of our Kindergarten students on their field trip today! Our boys and girls took a trip to Animal Adventure in Harpursville, where they got to feed some animals, pose for photos, and have some lunch. It was a nice trip that our students enjoyed, thank you to Animal Adventure for having us!! #wildcatpride

SUMMER SAFETY AT MORNING PROGRAM It was nice to be back with you all at morning program today! During today’s program, Principal Durkot spoke with our students about summer safety. After watching a safety video, each grade discussed how there may be other ways to keep ourselves safe in the summertime. Using sunscreen and drinking lots of water is very important on hot, summer days. It is also important to ask your parents/guardians for permission before going off to play with friends. We also chose our ‘golden trash can’ award winners for the year. Mrs. Hull’s pre-kindergarten students were chosen by Mr. Mitchell because their classroom is always in tip-top shape. Since they received the award, they will be having a pizza party soon! Excellent work, boys and girls. It was nice to see everyone at today’s morning program, we hope to see you again next week!

SECOND GRADERS VISIT TEDDY BEAR CLINIC Yesterday, our 2nd grade boys and girls went on a field trip to the Teddy Bear clinic at UHS in Walton. At the hospital the kids had the opportunity to visit the emergency, ambulatory, and imaging departments. Outside the hospital they were able to look at the inside of an ambulance. They also got to meet K9 Edge from Delaware County Sheriff's department! The students had a great day experiencing what it would be like if they ever found themselves in an emergency situation. We would like to thank everyone who made this trip possible! #wildcatpride

NATURE CENTER AT MORNING PROGRAM We want to thank Emily Kinne and The Hancock Community Education Foundation for stopping by yesterday’s Morning Program to speak with out elementary students about the Robert W. Nichol Nature Preserve! Ms. Kinne spoke with our boys and girls about the Wildlife and Watershed programs available at the Nature center. She also demonstrated different sounds animals make and how they may communicate with each other. Some questions & answers with the students followed! We hope you all have a wonderful, extended Memorial Day weekend! With no school on Monday & Tuesday, there will be no Morning Program next week. We will resume program the following Tuesday, June 4th! #wildcatpride
