This week our 7th grade science students have been exploring gravity, Apollo 11, and the Moon to support literacy learning in preparation for American Graffiti Day and its 1960s theme. Yesterday they conducted a hands-on activity simulating lunar craters using rocks and flour. It was a messy but fantastic and engaging learning experience!
Today's Principal Appreciation post goes out to Mrs. Kristyn Goodwin! Did you know that Mrs. Goodwin has been at Hackler since DAY 1? She was a counselor for years at HIS before becoming a Dean of Students and eventually the building Principal! Mrs. Goodwin has so many fans at Hackler that a student even asked to "twin" with her during our most recent Homecoming spirit week! Hackler is lucky to have Mrs. Goodwin leading the charge each day!
Congratulations to this month's Students, Staff Member, and Teachers of the Month at MHPS! Thanks to Legacy Title Co. for sponsoring!

Last night the Second Amendment Legacy Foundation awarded the Mountain Home Bomber Trap Team a $5,000 grant. They gave out about $50,000 to ten local groups for youth shooting sports. Among the other recipients was Mountain Home NJROTC. Big thanks to this group, who raises funds locally, for supporting our kids!
These businesses have graciously partnered with Pinkston Middle School by donating gift certificates to encourage and thank teachers/staff for connecting with students and for creating a safe and welcoming school climate. Employees earn entries into a prize drawing each month in several ways, including implementing simple and practical activities that focus on different aspects of kindness and connection each week, student input, and being caught by a counselor. At the end of each month we have a prize drawing, and because of these supportive businesses, we are able to give away gift certificates to seven teachers/staff members a month!
