HMS Ecology Club won Restoration Trip to Angeles Forest

The HMS Ecology Club were one of the winners of the Tree-by-Tree contest hosted by Edison Electric and TreePeople. Seventeen schools were selected to share their amazing environmental activities and post their pictures on Facebook.

We placed 4th with 640 votes and won a restoration trip to the Angeles Forest. We thank all the students, parents, teachers, and staff that voted for us!!!

We took our field trip on April 5, 2013. Ms. Saenz (6th grade Math/Science Teacher), Ms. Valdiviezo (7th Language Arts & AVID teacher) and Ms. Cole (school nurse) joined us.

A few of the AVID students joined the Ecology Club to learn about planting trees that have burned down in the forest.

Andrew Cushman and volunteers from TreePeople met us at the forest. We even had Hawthorne Cable follow us there and stayed the whole time filming our students. It was an all day event and the students/staff planted 210 trees!!!

Attention all parents! Have you visited our parent center yet? HMS has a fabulous parent center located in the school's library. The parent center has two computers with internet use so parents can check grades or research information. We also have textbooks, parenting tips, school, community and nutrition information. We welcome parents to come in and check it out.

Traffic and Drop-Offs

Please remember that it is a violation of the vehicle code to drop off students in front of the barricade on 129th street if you are not parked in a designated area. Also, stopping to park and drop off students in the alley off of 129th is prohibited. The gated parking lots are for employee parking only. We open this gate for parent nights and for the ALL program pick up only. Thanks for your support!
