Windhover Restoration Fundraiser: We Are So Close!

The Windhover Restoration fundraiser is still going strong! Thank you to everyone who has donated so far! We are very close to reaching our goal!

Created by the renowned artist, Robert Murray, the Windhover is nationally recognized with an official registration with the Smithsonian Institute. The Windhover is not only the sole Murray piece in Illinois, but also the only Murray piece at a primary school anywhere! It is a truly unique work of art.

For those who plan to donate, there is still time! Donations may be made by check payable to the HMS PTO or via our website at www.hmspto.org/windhover.

Thank you for your support!
