We hope you all had a happy and healthy holiday break.
As the Wednesday before break was canceled because of bad weather (and a Gold Day), tomorrow will be a Gold Day.
We are looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!
Hermon High School students enjoyed spending time with local children on Saturday, December 18, at the annual Holiday Community Party. More than 70 youngsters worked on crafts, played games in the gym, decorated cookies, won cupcakes in a cake walk and broke a pinata, all assisted by about 40 high school volunteers. Santa made an appearance to read "Twas the Night Before Christmas" and then read messages the children had written to him.
This was a return to an annual tradition interrupted by the pandemic, and both groups turned out in force.
The High School Student Leaders extend thanks to all the volunteers who helped make this event possible, whether participating in person or in the planning stages.
Happy Holidays to all.
The Hermon High School chapter of the National Honor Society recently made holiday cards to deliver to a local nursing home.

Student Council extends thanks to students and staff who contributed to the Thanksgiving collection. Thanks to your generosity, we were able to put together large boxes of food, including a turkey, to deliver to families in Hermon, Carmel, Levant and Glenburn.
Congratulations to our 49 members of our National Honor Society.
THANKSGIVING COLLECTION
Each November, Student Council collects food to make Thanksgiving boxes for a family in each town where Hermon High School students live.
Students should bring in non-perishable food items and place them in the labeled boxes in home rooms or donate money that Student Council can use to buy turkeys to add to the boxes.
Think about your neighbors in need.
The collection will continue through Friday, November 19. Student Council will provide breakfast to the home room that brings in the most items.
