This year HMS is offering parents, staff, and friends the opportunity to support HMS by buying gift cards through the Scrip gift card program. A percentage of each gift card purchased will be donated to the HMS PTO to help fund events and activities that enhance and enrich the experience of our students. You don’t need to spend money buying anything you don’t need to support the school; just buy these gift cards and use them to pay for items you would regularly purchase. Everything from gas, grocery to your favorite store Gift Cards.

Please return your order form with a check made out to HMS PTO for the amount owed to the main HMS office by noon on December 10th. Gifts cards will be distributed to students during home-base on December 16th and 17th.
