Hixson Middle School

Several of our rising 8th grade students represented Hixson at the final School Board meeting of the year.

Counselors Sarah Bodi and Emily Bardot created the Hixson Kindness Crew. Over the course of the year they:

-Wrote grants to start the stuffed animal support check out.
-Used the WGSD PTO grant to create self-care first aid kit that students could check out.
-Birthday locker celebration so everyone could be included.
-Pop-up surprises for staff members, including the staff lounge takeover, and Friday surprise snacks.
-Dirty soda orders in recognition of teacher appreciation week.
-Welcome signs on Fridays.
-Well wishes in the forms of crafts and positive notes for our students doing Book Battle and for Special Olympics.
-Also wrote letters to businesses outside of Hixson to let them know that they are either a favorite business and we appreciate the work they are doing.

Because of this work they were recognized by Character.org as a Promising Practice.

These are the final weeks to order 1st Day School Supplies.

It only takes a few minutes to select your school and choose your child's grade. Everything will arrive ready to go before school begins.

As we end the 25-26 school year, we wanted to share our yearly library stats. Way to go, Hixson readers!

Shoutout to Ms. Hannel's art students for making these amazing totem poles! They built boxes focusing on surface design with additive and subtractive techniques. It was a great way to get students to build their skills in clay and also make a nice sculpture for our Sustainability Garden!🎨

Don't forget - Kona Ice will be here tomorrow! Students may pay to upgrade their size if they'd like, but all students will get a free Kona Ice.

Kona Ice will be at Hixson on Friday to help us celebrate the last day of school! All students will be given a free Kiddie size but may pay to upgrade their size if they would like.

Today we welcomed all of our future Jr. Statesmen as 5th graders from our elementary schools came to Hixson Middle School for a tour led by our amazing Student Council volunteers! Students got to explore the building, meet staff and students, and take part in fun carnival-style games throughout the day. It was a great chance for them to get comfortable with middle school and see all the opportunities waiting for them next year. We loved having them here and can’t wait to see them back in the halls as HXMS students next year!
