Weekly Announcements

Week of November 11 - 15

Principal's Weekly

Novmeber 15, 2019

Dear HHS Community,

Recently I’ve been contacted by representatives from several presidential candidates inquiring about the opportunity to address our school.  I am very open to having candidates address our students, regardless of political persuasion. Should any of this come to pass, I will work hard to be sure we find ways to present a variety of perspectives to the student body.

I’m well aware that politics can be a sensitive topic in schools.  And, I feel it’s very important to build a civic awareness in our developing adults.  I will, of course, communicate with the entire community regarding any speakers that come to fruition.

I hope you have a great weekend!

Justin M. Campbell
Principal
Hanover High School

STEM Pathways Speaker Series

Cancer - My Work as a Cancer Biologist

Our last speaker for the semester will be on FRIDAY 11/22 during Activity Period in room 313.

As a kid he collected insects, critters, plants, and rocks in my yard, looking for patterns, wondering what made them work, and asking how they came to be. Come learn how that led him to Dartmouth to establish his own research program focused on breast cancer biology and therapeutic development. He works with cancer cells in a dish, mice, human tissues, and patients in clinical trials to understand how cells become resistant to drugs and ways that we can prevent/overcome such resistance.

Snacks will be provided.

Help save our oceans!

Reduce your plastic!

The town of  Norwich has already banned plastic bags. But when you shop at Hannafords, Shaws or the Co-op, do you use the little plastic vegetable or fruit bags? That makes the amount of plastic in our oceans increase! To help further reduce single-use plastic MCS 6th graders are selling cotton mesh bags. The bags are washable and reusable and are made of 100% certified organic cotton. They make great gifts for family and friends!

The bags come in small-8”x10” medium-10”x12”  large-12”x15” sizes. By using these bags you will be helping reduce the amount of plastic in our oceans. The money raised will go toward the end of year class 6th grade celebration and class gift. Pre-orders will be taken through 11/30 and will be ready for pick-up/delivery in December. To order visit our online store: https://marioncrosspto.membershiptoolkit.com/packet/11699421
