Merton Williams Middle School in Hilton recently celebrated Winter Fest, an event to reward students who were seen by their teachers displaying more than one of the six Habits of Mind and Character Traits of Dignity that students and staff are working on throughout the year. Thirty seventh and eighth graders and 30 of their friends were able to participate in each of three lunch periods.
After the students ate lunch, they were divided into teams and played rounds of the human version of “Hungry Hungry Hippos.” Teams who earned the most points received tickets that they could trade in for prizes.
Assistant Principal Michael LeGault organized the event and several staff members volunteered their time to make the event a success. Shown here is seventh grader Ian Donahue.
