The Hermon Press, HHS' school newspaper, has been busy producing content for our viewers and community. Come check out our website at hermon.press (or search us on Google), find us on Facebook ("The Hermon Press"), and follow us on Instagram (@hermonhspress). Recently, our students have entered the realm of podcasting. Loren and Logan have created "Hawkey Talk" (about the NHL), Jacob has been recording for his podcast "Shootin' J's" (all things basketball), and Ryan, Anthony, and Josh recorded the first two episodes of "A Bird's Eye View" (about, well, everything).
The National Honor Society is collecting new or like new children's books for Literacy Volunteers of America's Bangor Branch. There is a box in the library to drop books off. This drive will run until Thursday, 12-22, at which point NHS members will take the books to LVA in Bangor. Please think of donating so kids have lots of fun options to read!
The next two weeks our Hawk Battalion Cadets will be programming their Sphero Robots to navigate our maze. They will accomplish this task by writing a Text Coding program for their individual bots. All text coding is done using Javascript. Our Cadets are super excited with JROTC's new STEM curriculum.

This year's Holiday Community Party is Saturday, December 17, from 8 to 11 am. There is no fee, but we accept donations.
High School student volunteers will help the children as they participate in activities. (This is an opportunity for HHS students to earn community service.)
