In a spirited display of athleticism (this term is used very loosely for staff) and school spirit, the Staff vs. Student basketball game at Horace Maynard Middle School brought together teachers and students for a morning of friendly competition. The event, held last Wednesday, packed the gym with enthusiastic spectators, creating a fun and lively atmosphere that united the entire school community. The staff did squeak out a 61-58 victory and from what we can tell there were no long-term injuries to staff members. The money raised during the game will go to support the Horace Maynard Middle School Beta Club. Track also held a fundraiser that day, to pie a coach in the face! Coach Kear was the unlucky recipient of those pies during halftime of the game.

Horace Maynard Middle School also recognized FAM1LY Members of the Month for January during the staff development day this past Monday. For January, the staff at HMMS voted Mr. Anthony Malone and Ms. Stacie Greene as FAM1LY Members of the Month. HMMS is lucky to have a wonderful group of teachers and congratulations to these two amazing educators on being recognized by your peers!
