HMS Principal Update

Hello HMS Families,

I hope you had an excellent week. A special thank you to all of our Veterans, we appreciate you and your service to our Nation! We have a dance tonight from 5-7, entry is $10. Exact cash is appreciated! If you want to volunteer to chaperone, please email me or call. We have several important updates below. Please consider taking a few minutes to review each point.

Respectfully,

Kyle Grady
