The after-school program at Hugoton Elementary has always been funded through various federal and state grants. Those funds were no longer available beginning in 2024-2025 which led to the district not providing this program. As we explore the possibility of creating a self-sustaining program that is not dependent on grants, we are seeking feedback from parents regarding interest in establishing a new after-school program. Thank you for taking some time to provide us feedback and helping us learn how we can continue to better serve our families.

64 years ago, Ruby Bridges took a brave walk into a segregated school. Today, HIS students will have the opportunity to participate in a livestream with Ruby Bridges. Ruby will be speaking to schools at a live event in Topeka. Schools from outside of the Topeka area were able to submit an application to attend the event via livestream. Only ten schools would be chosen from the schools who applied. Mrs. Watkins found out last week that Hugoton Elementary has been chosen as one of the winners! Ruby's entire life has been wrapped around what she experienced as a First Grade Student and we can learn so much from her story and her life. If you would like to learn more about Ruby's story, click on the links below:

Get ready for an action-packed Thursday for HMS! 🎉
Kick things off by cheering at the **VB Scrimmages** at 4 PM in the West Gym, then head over to the **CC Time Trials** at 4:15, and keep the energy high at the **FB Scrimmage** at 4:30 on the field.
But that’s not all! The excitement continues with our **HMS Dance** in the FEMA room from 7-9 PM. 💃🕺 Admission is just $2, with $1 water and glow necklaces to keep the fun going all night.
**Don't forget—** you need to be at school to attend these events! The doors for the dance close at 7:20, so be sure to arrive on time. Parents can drop you off and pick you up right by the FEMA room. And remember, the school dress code must be followed.
