🎉 8th Grade Takes on the "Real World" at the Reality Store! 🎉
Today, our 8th graders put their financial literacy skills to the ultimate test in our annual Reality Store simulation!
Students were given a hypothetical career, salary, and family scenario, and then had to navigate the ups and downs of adult budgeting. They visited different "stores" and made real-life decisions about:
🏠 Housing (Rent or mortgage?)
🚗 Transportation (New car or used?)
🍎 Groceries & Utilities
This hands-on experience taught them valuable lessons about budgeting, making tough choices, and the true cost of living. A huge thank you to all the volunteers who helped make this important simulation a success!

Happy Veterans Day from HCMS!
Yesterday, we paused to honor and thank the brave men and women who have served and protected our nation. To all our veterans, we are grateful for your sacrifice, dedication, and service. Thank you!
HCMS students participated in a meaningful virtual Veterans Day program hosted by the Kentucky Historical Society. This experience allowed our students to gain a deeper understanding of the importance of this day and the stories of our Kentucky veterans.

Happy Halloween from HCMS! 🎃👻
The HCMS lighthouse team would like to honor our local veterans during November. Students and staff are encouraged to bring in a picture of their military family member(s) to hang on a bulletin board for all to see.
The board will be located in the 7th-grade intersection. There is a pocket hanging on the board with information forms to fill out to identify who the person in the photo is, their role in the military, and the staff or student they are related to.
Pictures will be returned to students after a copy has been made of the original photo! Students should give the photo to their team leader.
**Photos will not be accepted without the information sheet. If possible, please write the student's name on the back of the photo.**
