Hello Everyone,
HMS and the HMS Student Council are very involved in service to others; this year is no different. This year we have chosen to sell "Made In The USA" t-shirts, with the proceeds going to programs associated with our veterans. In the past, we have donated to Jefferson Barracks, with the money going directly to veterans in need, such as purchasing personal hygiene products and clothing. We will also have the t-shirts in time for our Veterans Day Assembly, so students can wear them to show support for our military members. If you are interested in purchasing, please order at the link below. Orders must be placed by Sunday, October 23rd. Thank you for your support and we are looking forward to supporting our veterans!!
Thank you!!
