Fort Herriman Middle School “Back to School Night” is Big Success

Posted on

They did a great job getting everyone revved up for a fun and successful new school year. That’s because Fort Herriman Middle School’s “Back to School Night” included a pretty cool car show. About a dozen cars were on display including a modified school bus, Model-T, Corvettes, and a Zombie Jeep.

The fun didn’t stop with the cool cars. Ross Rodgers was on hand to DJ the event, Assistant Principal Tim Heumann was manning the grill on hot dog duty, and they were serving up popcorn and snow cones on the side.

What a great evening and wonderful way to welcome everyone back and get students excited about the 2024-25 school year.

Well done, Fort Herriman Middle School!
