HMS Pulls Off a very Successful CHICK-FIL-A Fundraiser

Thank you to the HMS Community for your support at the Chick-Fil-A Fundraiser that took place last week. We raised $1,264.71….all going towards the HMS 8th Grade End of Year Carnival! The restaurant was filled with familiar faces that included students, parents, and staff. What a great opportunity to get out and socialize with friends for a good cause.

Thank You HMS Parent Speakers!

Thank you to fellow HMS parents, Dr. Ariel Juberg, PsyD, LPC and Katie Stromberg, MSW Intern, for leading a discussion on what future success means and how to connect to your unique child’s needs and gifts at Friday’s PTO meeting. They shared candidly about their own experiences with their children.

Lost and Found

These are items in the Lost and Found area. Please have your student take a look before they are donated at the end of March.

Last Chance to Buy Mrs. Field’s Cookies!

There’s one day left to support the HMS PTO by purchasing Mrs. Field’s cookie dough, delivered straight to your door! For every purchase, a portion of proceeds will benefit the PTO. Your kids will love the warm, fresh cookies made with love at home! Buy your cookies HERE.
