Believe it or not, 8th grade graduation is already just around the corner! The 8th grade graduation committee is in the beginning stages of planning our 2023 celebration, and it’s going to be a great one! This year’s celebration will be held during the school day on Thursday, June 1, 2023 (the last full day of school for 8th graders) and will include an outdoor picnic lunch, followed by an epic block party on the HMS field. Attractions include a DJ, inflatables, outdoor games, prizes, caricaturists, a photo booth, body paint artists, tie dye station, tent, snacks and more! This party is funded solely by funds raised through families and local businesses. If you’d like to contribute, please click on LINK to make a donation from yourself or your business. Contact Sarah Bero at Graduation@hmspto.org if you’d prefer to send a check.
No donation is too small! Every dollar will help make this a very special celebration. As an example, $25/$50/$100 donations can be used for snacks, drinks and prizes. $300 (Bronze level) can be used for 1 of 4 caricaturists – or body paint artists – for the entire celebration (extremely popular in last year’s celebration). $500 (Silver level) might sponsor the DJ or tie dye station. $1000 (Gold level) could sponsor one of our anchor inflatables! $2500 will sponsor the tent that houses the volunteers and refreshments – and allows the celebration to go on rain or shine! Sponsors will be recognized in the graduation program and Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum level donations can be recognized in other ways as well. Please contact Sarah Bero at Graduation@hmspto.org for details. The HMS PTO is a 501c3 and your donation may have tax benefits.
If you’d prefer to donate time, we’re looking for 6-8 graduation committee volunteers to help with various aspects of the lunch, ceremony and celebration.
We appreciate your support!
Sincerely,
the 8th Grade Graduation Committee
