A Look Into December

Dear HMS Families,
Wow!!! I can’t believe November is already here. Hopefully the school year has settled into a productive and positive routine for your family. HMS has recently wrapped up the 1st quarter of school and we are beaming with pride over the results.
I want to remind everyone of the importance of communication between home and school. We need each other's support to be truly successful in transitioning your child through the middle school years. It was nice to hear from so many of you at our Open House last month. It stresses to the students that you care what they're doing, the importance of education, and helps them view learning as a priority. We want all students to become increasingly more responsible for their education in the middle school years.
We have concluded our fall sports, and I want to salute all the players and coaches on a job well done! We value our coaches for their commitment to our student-athletes and their impact on developing the whole child. The influence coaches and volunteers have on an athlete's life is enormous and is hard to quantify in sheer numbers.
November is also the start of the holiday season! This is a great time to get your student involved in some type of community service event. This time of the year provides some amazing learning opportunities to help them understand the importance of community and giving back. Our service clubs will be very active during the holiday season.
If I can ever be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me. My e-mail address is bmills@rollred.org or you can reach me by phone at Harding Middle School, (740) 282-3481.
Sincerely,
Principal Bryan Mills

Football
The 2021 Harding Middle School football season was a step in the right direction as we accomplished most of the goals set for this season. The coaching staff would like to thank the players for their countless hours of hard work and dedication to HMS football. The 7th grade team had a record of 6-1 with wins coming over Youngstown Catholic, New Philadelphia, Dover, St Clairsville, Barnesville, and Austintown Fitch. The 8th grade team had an undefeated season with wins coming over Sister Thea Bowman, Youngstown Catholic, New Philadelphia, Dover, Triadelphia, St Clairsville, and Austintown Fitch. We look forward to bigger and better things from these young men in the future. Stick together, hard work pays off. Roll Red!
Volleyball
The HMS 7th grade volleyball team finished the 2021 season with a record of 6-18. The team had some great wins, defeating East Liverpool and Bellaire twice, Harrison Central, and Toronto. The girls worked very hard throughout the season and we hope to see them continue to work hard and return strong for their 8th grade year.
2021 was a great season for the 8th grade team. After last season, losing only 2 games, the girls were fired up and eager to get their 8th grade year rolling. They started off losing their first two games to East Liverpool and New Philly, but after that, the team went on to win every other game but 2, finishing with a 16-4 record. They never lost to a team twice this year and a highlight of the season for the girls was beating New Philadelphia with hard work and team effort. This talented group learned the value of working together as a team and trusting one another on and off the court, which led them to most of their wins this year. The girls finished in 3rd place in the Bellaire tournament, although it wasn’t the 1st place they wanted, they fought hard and played to the very end. The coaches and 7th grade team wish the girls nothing but the best of luck in the rest of their sports and as they continue on to Big Red!
Cross Country
The Harding Middle School Cross Country team competed in four meets this season. Runners traveled to Buckeye Local on August 23rd and battled the 90-degree weather to complete their two miles. Next up, runners traveled to Martins Ferry for a Cross Country invitational where both Leighvie Jones and Anastazia Jones set their personal record two-mile times for the season with a 17:32 for Anastazia and a 17:15 for Leighvie. Runners then participated in the Bryan Fritz XC Invitational at Brook High School where Frank Guntrum took home a medal for 9th place with a season personal record of 13:11 and Anthony Biasi PR’d his two-mile time for the season with finishing in 17:09 followed by Luca Holt with a season PR of 22:00. The runners completed their season with the OVCCL at Buckeye Local where Frank Guntrum took home a medal placing fourteenth with a time of 13:29 and Clara Hoffman finished the season with a season PR of 23:20. Great season for all the runners and best of luck the rest of the year.
