Hermitage School District

Weekly Hermit 11/2/26-11/6/26

October was full of creativity, critical thinking, and hands-on learning for our HHS Gifted and Talented students!

From screen printing and Rubik’s Cube challenges to strategic magnetic games, students have been putting their problem-solving skills to work while learning the importance of patience, persistence, and teamwork!

These activities are about more than just having fun. They encourage students to think creatively, make strategic decisions, overcome challenges, and build confidence along the way.
