Happy Earth Day from Ms. Rees' Science 7 class! As we seem to be in our homes more than ever, we wanted to share with you some tips to help you save $ when it comes to energy usage. Students learned about energy usage through their recent completion of the Be E3Smart program.

Due to the recent announcement from the governor, the National Honor Society induction ceremony will be postponed until the 2020-2021 school year. Thank you for understanding. Senior NHS members will still receive their special tassels for commencement (whether there is a ceremony or not), and I will find a way to get those to you. Thank you! ~ Mrs. Gerken

Due to the governor’s recent announcement and the school shutdown, the high school musical, Little Shop of Horrors, has been cancelled. We are so sad to deliver this news to you. We are discussing plans for a showcase in the fall or winter so that our students can perform some of the musical numbers. They have worked so hard, and we are so proud of them! We will keep you posted! To the seniors: We love you, and we will keep the musical memories with us forever. Thank you.

The Governor of Ohio announced today that schools in Ohio will remain closed until May 1. We will continue to reach out to our students and provide lessons electronically. Be sure to complete the survey that was sent out to identify students in need of internet service or a device to access the internet. Students needing a device will be contacted this week to arrange pick up during our lunch distribution.

Before we start distance learning tomorrow, the Hicksville Staff have prepared a message for students: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otlblSjsYzs&feature=youtu.be Aces students, parents, and community … now it’s YOUR TURN! It is time to band together and show us what you are all doing to stay strong. Each week we will be asking you to upload videos or pictures to show us all the different things you are doing to stay safe, healthy and positive during this time. At the end of the week, videos will be downloaded and edited into a weekly montage. The final product will then be posted to social media weekly. If you have any questions, please email Mr. Freese - freesej@hicksvilleschools.org Below is a link for you all to share your own videos https://photos.app.goo.gl/6NPuxrc1APC4BsVC6 #acestrong
