Hidden River Middle School
Principal's Message - May 2, 2012
Hidden River Middle School has raised the bar for interest in Science through our improved, hands-on Science Curriculum that has been enhanced by the Boeing Science Alliance. We once again have two after school groups supervised by Ms. Koon and Mr. Leers in conjunction with three Boeing engineers. Ms. Haberlack is working on a plan to restore the Hidden River Nature Trail which is directly related to our 7th grade Life Sciences.
All of this means more opportunities for our students to connect Science to real life situations and have fun learning. I am very proud of our Science Department and the positive energy they are providing our students. This is what STEM is all about. It is our goal to continue to improve our community connections and look forward to working closely with the Brightwater Environmental Center and others in the community to further improve our STEM instruction.
Therefore I would like to personally invite all of you to the all-district STEM Learning EXPO held May 23rd from 5-7 PM. You will get to see approximately 20 presentations from Hidden River along with those from all other schools in the district. I expect many interesting things to learn about.
Learnin Expo set for May 23
STEM? Do you mean what holds up a flower?
STEM is a fairly new term describing the critical role Science, Technology, Engineering and Math play in how well your child is prepared for future education and success in his/her chosen career. Learn what it is all about and how Monroe’s schools are inspiring young people to excel in STEM at the “Learning EXPO” on Wednesday, May 23, from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center at Monroe High School, 17001 Tester Road. (See the flyer attached to this week’s newsletter.).
The Learning EXPO is an opportunity for you and your child to see what is in store as she/he moves up to the next level in Monroe’s schools. More than 100 students from our school as well as others in grades 4-8 will tell you about their learning along with demonstrations in areas including robotics, culinary arts, cellular bio-technology and horticulture from students enrolled in several of Monroe High School’s STEM courses.

Important Notice About Internet Safety
The best way to protect children from online harm is to keep computers in a family area of the home. Visibility allows parents to look over the students' shoulders without being too oppressive. Young children should have a parental chaperone whenever they are on the Internet. Two sites that discuss these issues and offer advice can be found at www.safekids.com and www.safeteens.com.
Hyperlinks to staff web sites (located on the Staff page) are provided for student and parent convenience, and all staff web sites are hosted by external Internet service providers. Monroe Public Schools assumes no liability for content contained on external service provider sites. Filtering software from one of the providers listed below is recommended to prevent unauthorized access to sites beyond the District's control.
