Dr. Kevin M. Hurley Middle School October Stars of the Month

HMS students are chosen as Stars of the Month for various reasons. These reasons include but are not limited to academic achievement, effort, work-ethic, going above and beyond, random acts of kindness, and improvement over time.

The names of two students from each academic team are submitted, as well as the names of four students from the encore team.  Students that are chosen for each month are invited to a free breakfast with the school administration, guidance counselors, and teachers that may be available at the time. The breakfast takes place first period on a Friday morning. Students have their names announced over the intercom on the Thursday afternoon on the day prior to the breakfast.

At the breakfast, students enjoy a balanced breakfast meal that will include fruit, milk and juice with it.  The cafeteria is decorated in honor of the students. A ceremony takes place, including a short speech from the principal, assistant principal, guidance counselors, and any teachers that would like to speak.  Students have their individual picture taken. The picture of each student is displayed on a star in the Tower Lobby display case for one month. Students also receive that star with their picture as part of the certificate folder at their 8th grade promotional ceremony.  During the breakfast, students are called up to receive a Star of the Month Certificate that includes the HMS seal.  Also, a raffle occurs for the chance to win a $10 gift certificate to Subway. Students are also  brought down to the gymnasium for the chance to take a half court shot for the chance to win a $25 I-Tunes gift certificate.

For October, there were no students that were able to hit the half court shot.

Aditi Patel won the Subway Gift Card.
