Reality U is returning to HMS/HHS and we'd love volunteers!!!
On Tuesday, November 12th, from 8:45-12:00 we will be hosting our annual Reality-U Financial Literacy Simulation with our 8th and 10th grade students, with Centre's 8th and 10th grade students also joining in on the fun. Reality U is a 90-minute financial literacy simulation that provides students a glimpse into what life could look like as a 26 year old. Each student is provided a monthly income, credit card debt, as well as their marital and family status. Students visit various stations where they manage their monthly finances, including paying their mortgage, utilities, food, car & medical insurance, as well as other common monthly expenses.
If you are interested in volunteering with this simulation the morning of Tuesday, November 12th, please contact Melissa Brunner, USD 487 Director of Student Learning, either by email at mbrunner@usd487.org (mailto:mbrunner@usd487.org), or by calling the HHS office at 785-258-2261
Railers: We are hoping to see everyone in just a couple of days for our big National Blue Ribbon School ceremony and celebration on Friday, October 11th! Attendees are encouraged to wear blue. The festivities will all begin with a ceremony at 12:30 in the gym, followed by a student/staff photo, and then we will wrap-up with student/family celebration stations and a dance party. We will have regular dismissal on Friday. Make sure to be a part of this special accomplishment that our students, staff, and families have worked so hard to achieve!

The HHS junior class will be taking the ACT WorkKeys assessment on Wednesday October 2nd. Students need to be at school for their advisory class at 8am. Students will earn a nationally recognized Career Readiness Certificate. The assessment will cover three topics; Applied Math, Work place documents, and Graphic Literacy. The certification will identify which skills they already possess and it can be used during job searches to inform employers of the skills they have already obtained. Parents, please help ensure your junior will be on time. If the assessment has already started, students will not be allowed to sit for the exam, per ACT guidelines.
