Christmas Break has arrived and we ended the first half of the year spreading some holiday cheer! Check out these pictures from our First Annual Reindeer Games and our surprise visit from the Grinch! More pictures will be in the newsletter!





Mrs. Frieden's "Fiber Arts" exploratory class has been taught different techniques such as knitting and crocheting to make scarves over the past 9-weeks. Today they took their scarves into Rapid City and placed them on the presidential statues for those who are less fortunate and need to stay warm during the winter. Such a great class and a great giving project!






Mrs. Hanis's sign language class presented our office with a wonderful rendition of Dean Martin's 'Walking in a Winter Wonderland.' ❄️ 🎄

We have had some questions regarding the damage done to the fence at Hermosa School. A little after 6:00 PM on Sunday, December 8th, a vehicle left the roadway on Hwy 40, hit the guard rail between the road and school fence, and then hit the school fence causing the damage. The SD Department of Transportation fixed the guard rail on Monday and there has been a temporary repair to the school fence until it can be repaired completely. If you have any other questions, please reach out to Mr. Paris.
Hermosa students spent the morning shopping for gifts to send to the Children's Home of the Black Hills and to help Connor Owen with his Toy Drive Senior Project. Shout out to Sophia, Brooke, Karmyn, Jace, Leah, Racina,
Morgan, Reese, and Paige for helping out!

Hermosa students had a great week! In 7th-grade science, they dissected frogs, researched and built famous floats and balloons from the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade in middle school ELA, and learned about early settlers by building boats to measure capacity in 3rd grade!









We wish all our staff, students, and their families a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving Break! We are closed Nov. 27-29. Classes resume on Monday, Dec. 2.

Thank you to all Veterans! Hermosa School appreciates your dedication to this great country! We kicked off the morning by celebrating Veterans Day with members of the Post 303 American Legion Color Guard, Zayleigh and Marin singing the National Anthem, and Will playing Taps on his trumpet. A special thanks to Mr. Trandem and Ms. Henriksen who are both veterans and staff members at Hermosa.
