Dear Parents and Guardians,
This is a friendly reminder that our Culver’s/Biggby Coupon Book fundraiser has ended, and we began collecting coupon books and money last week. If your student still has any unsold coupon books or money that has not yet been turned in, please remember to send those items to school with your student as soon as possible.
If you would prefer, you are also welcome to drop them off at the middle school office.
If you have any questions, please contact Katie Winick in the Hastings Middle School front office, and she will be happy to assist you.
Thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
Jeff Saunders
Principal
Hastings Middle School

It's called Activity Night for a reason. The Hastings Community Education & Recreation Center was filled with activity Friday afternoon as our Middle Schoolers took it over. They enjoyed everything from swimming, music and karaoke to pizza, pool, basketball and time with friends. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make this favorite event a reality!
Just a reminder that Activity Night is tomorrow, Friday the 27th, from 3:30 to 5:30 at the CERC.
The cost is $3 to get in. There will be swimming, games, and activities, and food and snacks will be available for purchase.
Please remember, rides will not be provided unless you are already a bus rider who takes the bus to the high school. Make sure you have a ride arranged for pick-up at 5:30.
We hope to see you there!

Students from both our Middle School and High School attended the Barry County Chamber & Economic Development Alliance's Career Fest at the Barry County Expo Center today.
They connected with dozens of employers representing a wide range of industries, exploring career pathways and learning about opportunities available after high school or college.
It was a great event filled with meaningful conversations, insights and ... free stuff!

Our district is finally starting to thaw, and we hope you’re enjoying the sunshine and more manageable temperatures! But this is Michigan — and we all know winter isn’t finished with us just yet.
Now’s a great time to review our weather cancellation policies and procedures so you know exactly what to expect in the event of a school cancellation or two-hour delay. Being informed helps everyone plan ahead with confidence.

The Hastings Area School System's Board of Education will be meeting tomorrow night for its regularly-scheduled monthly meeting.
This week, some of our incredible 8th grade art students helped create something special for their HMS community. They designed a “little” note addressed to all 600 HMS students, reminding each and every one of them that they make our school a better and more unique place just by being part of it.
Even more meaningful was the fact that every single HMS student’s name is handwritten on the large envelope. 💙

Wow! Everyone who organized and participated in last week’s WinterFest truly showed up in a big way. Not only did we have an incredible time, but together we raised an amazing $9,284.54 for the Lucas family to help Nolan get a diabetes service dog.
That’s huge and just another example of our school community supporting one another.
Thank you SO much to everyone who helped make this year’s WinterFest such a success!

Important 8th Grade Parent Meeting All 8th-grade parents are invited to an important meeting Wednesday, February 11, from 5:30–6:30 p.m. at the Hastings High School Performing Arts Center. Join us to hear from the high school team and learn about scheduling and the transition to high school.

A huge thank you to Amergy Disposal and Velo Law for their generous donations that allowed the Hastings Middle School wrestling program to purchase a scale for the team!
Having a dedicated scale helps our athletes monitor their weight safely and consistently, making practices and competitions run much more smoothly.
We are especially excited to see the continued growth of the Middle School girls' wrestling program. In just two years, we have grown from only a few girls on the team to more than 15 wrestlers, and the momentum keeps building.
Community support like this makes a real difference for our student-athletes. Thank you!
