Hartford Middle School

Middle School Students of the Week (12/12/25):
6th Grade: Olivia Sanchez - Olivia has adapted to middle school very well. She puts a great deal of time into making sure her work is complete and on time, which leads her to have high achieving grades. Way to show HUSKY PRIDE!!

7th Grade: Marissa Holland - Marissa embodies every attribute of a Student of the Week. She excels academically, consistently demonstrates outstanding behavior, and actively participates in class. She always puts forth her best effort and is truly deserving of this recognition.

8th Grade: Sara Francisco - Sarah is one of the hardest and most consistent workers in the eighth grade. She comes to class every day ready to learn the content and to be a good example for those around her. She is a pleasure to have in class, and even though she is quiet, her teachers notice and appreciate her efforts.

The prizes include a meat bundle worth $420; one worth $200; and one worth $150! See the pictures for a detailed list of what is included in each bundle. You do not need to be present to win your bundle - but if you come, you can cheer on our Huskies! We will call you if you win and are not present.

There are still some tickets available for $10 each. Please email Heidi Macias at maciash@hpsmi.org with any questions or to purchase your tickets! Tickets will be sold until we run out - even up to the last few minutes before the drawing!

All proceeds go to The Giving Tree Project that was started in 2015. This inititave pairs students from our own elementary school to shop with current NHS members to get much needed warm winter gear and clothing.

*Not much freezer space? No need to worry! Keep what you want and gift the rest to your family and friends or your local food pantry. What a way to give back to your community, fill your freezer, and share with your loved ones.

Todavía quedan boletos disponibles por $10 cada uno. Si tiene alguna pregunta o desea comprar sus boletos, envíe un correo electrónico a Heidi Macias a maciash@hpsmi.org. ¡Los boletos se venderán hasta agotar existencias, incluso hasta los últimos minutos antes del sorteo!

Todo lo recaudado se destinará al Proyecto del Árbol Generoso, iniciado en 2015. Esta iniciativa conecta a estudiantes de nuestra escuela primaria con miembros actuales del NHS para que compren ropa y equipo de invierno muy necesarios.

*¿No tiene mucho espacio en el congelador? ¡No te preocupes! Quédate con lo que quieras y regala el resto a tus familiares y amigos o a tu banco de alimentos local. ¡Qué manera de contribuir a tu comunidad, llenar tu congelador y compartir con tus seres queridos!
