We extend a special welcome to new families and new students who, along with returning families have a lot to look forward to as we anticipate a new year where God is already at work. 

The HMS summer crew is busy cleaning classrooms and desks. Teachers are writing their July class letters and the administrative team is preparing the big early-August mailing. You may even see new paint adding color to some of our hallways!

NewsLink is an important way your family can stay in the loop of what is happening. We don't want anyone to miss out on the valuable learning and community building opportunities you will find at HMS!

Let's expect great things for our lives and that of our children because we serve a great God who is already going before us, preparing for our time together as a Christian community!

Serving with you,

Dawn Landes, Administrator/Principal

We are thankful for God's provision this past year! Through the involvement of many people HMS finished the 2015-16 fiscal year with a small surplus. We had record participation and support for our fundraising activities this past year: 

• Thanks to our many supportive parents, grandparents, alumni and other friends of the school, HMS met its operating fund needs for the year AND replenished most of the capital reserves that paid for the significant campus improvements last fall.  
• Operating Fund gifts for 2015-16 totaled $85,000, meeting our 2015-16 budget goal.
• Capital Replacement gifts toward our needs on the completed parking, soccer field and drainage work equaled $73,730.62. 
• Since the end-of-year challenge was announced in May (to match each new $1 given with 50 cents), HMS received $21,376.85, exceeding the challenge goal of $13,000.

• Thanks to many diligent hands from volunteers and staff, we met or exceeded the budgeted goals for the auction, fall poinsettia & cake sale, spring chicken BBQ & Servathon, and our annual golf tournament!

• HMS met our goals for scholarship monies through the EITC/OSTC programs, providing support for families in need of financial assistance at HMS. We are grateful for the many businesses who give through this program to impact families and students, keeping an HMS education accessible and affordable for families.  

HMS is grateful for the opportunity to partner, not only with families, but also churches, business owners and other donors who help make an education at HMS possible for many families.

We continue to work hard to communicate with families about all of the many activities at the school. Part of that communication happens via 

NewsLink emails, like this one. We would like to hear your thoughts about NewsLink and what is helpful to you.
