About Me

Hello Hickory Creek Students and Families! 
  
My name is Laura Dyokas, and I have been teaching ELA at Hickory Creek since 2002. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, reading, listening to podcasts, and cooking.
 
I believe education is vital to all students’ futures. In my class, I strive to promote the importance of effort, perseverance, and a growth mindset in order for students to achieve their goals. That being said, I am looking forward to a great year in ELA.

Cystic Fibrosis Walk 2024

We will walk again this year for those living with CF. Will you help us?  

Students at HCMS will be asked, “How can we help others in need?” and participate in an SEL lesson to learn more about CF and helping others throughout the month of May. At the end of this month, they will walk the track in honor of those living with and fighting this disease. There is a school-wide page that was set up to help raise funds for the HCMS team with all proceeds going directly to the CF Foundation. Check the link below for more information and thank you in advance for your donation! Our school-wide goal this year is to raise $10,000.  

The first 50 students who have $25 or more donated in their name will receive a participation t-shirt.

Your tax-deductible donation will go directly to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to fund lifesaving research.
