October 9-19th
7 a.m.- 3 p.m

This week we reviewed how to write a scientific procedure by tackling a very serious scientific challenge: making a PB&J sandwich. 🥪
Students wrote out their procedures step-by-step and then had to follow them exactly as written. Turns out, “put the peanut butter on the bread” leaves A LOT of room for interpretation. 😅
We had some questionable sandwiches, a few important lessons learned, and a whole lot of laughs…but most importantly, students saw firsthand why clear, specific, repeatable procedures matter in science!

Make your student’s final year at HJH extra special with an 8th Grade Dedication Page in the yearbook! Add favorite photos, memories, and a personal message they’ll treasure for years to come.
📖 Full Page: $150
📖 Half Page: $100
📅 Deadline: November 21, 2026
Forms are available in the front office or from Ms. Knight. Completed forms, pictures, and payment can be submitted to Ms. Knight in Room 902.
Just a reminder to our HJH families that Picture Retakes will be held Friday, October 9!
If your student missed picture day or would like a retake, this is their chance to get that perfect Wildcat picture!
