Thank you to all the volunteers who helped with the picnic lunch and block party on Wednesday, March 31st. A huge thanks to the 8th grade graduation committee, especially PTO chair Sarah Beros for spearheading the event.
CALLING ALL 8th GRADE PARENTS – The HMS PTO is looking for feedback on the 8th Grade Graduation Celebration. Please follow this LINK to complete the survey. Students are welcome to participate too. The more information we have, the better we can plan for next year! We appreciate any and all opinions.
Gail Vescovi joined District 181’s support staff in 1993. Along with mastering countless administrative tasks (like 8th grade graduation), she’s welcomed students, parents, visitors, and teachers into our building since 1996. She is a true LEGEND. Students showed their appreciation by lining the halls with notes of gratitude and congratulations during the final week of school. Mrs. Vescovi will be greatly missed as she enjoys her well deserved retirement!
Don’t forget to order school supplies! Prices go up after 6/4! Absolute latest date for ordering is 6/25! Order HERE.

PTO (Parent-Teacher Organization) membership is critical to ensuring excellence throughout our kids’ high school experience by funding and supporting events and programs focusing on student, faculty and family success.
The PTO serves as a BRIDGE for the school and home environment, enhances school spirit and pride, and promotes a sense of collaboration between the many components and layers of the school-home community.
We plan an enriching Community Speaker Series; and provide resources to Red Devil families educationally, socially and financially. We also actively support Hinsdale Central Staff throughout the year through appreciation events and recognition awards.
