📣 Miners in the Middle Update 📣
Normally this is where our weekly middle school newsletter would appear, but this week is anything but normal across Miner Nation!
Hartshorne students will be representing our school and community across the state this week, and we couldn’t be more proud of the hard work and dedication that brought them here.
We have powerlifters competing at the State Meet, students exhibiting at the Oklahoma Youth Expo, and both our high school Miners and Lady Miners competing in the State Basketball Tournament. These opportunities come from countless hours of practice, preparation, and commitment from our students, coaches, sponsors, and families.
We are also excited to share that our Middle School Baseball team opens their season tomorrow at Atoka at 4:30 PM. Good luck to our young Miners as they begin their season!
Because of all the exciting activities happening this week, we will also be adjusting our Middle School Midterm Exam schedule. Updated information about exams, along with details about a possible Miner Nation Sendoff, will be shared tomorrow once final plans are confirmed.
This is one of those weeks that reminds us what makes Hartshorne special. We are proud of every student representing our school and community.
Good luck to all of our Miners this week! 💙🏆💙
