Hello HMS Community 

It’s crazy that we’re already at the start of Quarter 3! Hopefully, you’re all staying warm through this cold week we’ve had! There are a few new fundraisers and restaurant nights coming up so please read through below for more details. We’re all dreaming of warmer weather and are already planning some events for later this spring so please reach if you’re interested in helping out.

Upcoming Events

JANUARY STAFF APPRECIATION – Hot Cocoa Bar! Moved to Friday 1/31.

Temps have been dropping, the snow has been falling and we want to thank and warm up the HMS staff with a hot cocoa bar!  If you are able to donate, we’d greatly appreciate it!

All donations must be dropped off in the front office by Thursday 1/30. Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up. Thank you, as always, for your support and generosity!!

SPRING FLING DANCE – Friday, March 28th 6:30pm – 8:30pm

The winter dance was such a success, we’re going to have another one in the spring! This will be a free event again with concessions. There will be links sent out closer to the date for RSVPs (so we can get a head count of what attendance to expect), concessions donations, and chaperones so stay tuned!
