Parent
Teacher Conferences
Please
keep in mind we can do conferences all year long; we want to be available to
update you on your student. Conferences do NOT have to be on Nov 21st and 22nd.
We have 400+ students in our school and it would be impossible to get everyone
in on those 2 days.
To make a conference for the 21st or 22nd you can try
the following website:
otherwise please call Ms. Barcomb at 802-864-8470 for another date.

Annual Holiday Wreath Sale
The PTO is happy to announce
that we are hosting the annual holiday Wreath fundraiser
again this year.
Again this year, we have chosen a family-run
business from Newport, VT that has been making balsam wreaths for many years.
This company
offers ONLINE ordering and pay using a credit card!
Go to the link
www.VTWreaths.com, and use the Group Code: HMS
Also new this year, the wreaths will ship direct to
you! If you cannot pay with a credit card, you can still order
using the attached Order Form with check or cash, and bring it into the
office.
Important Dates to remember:
Thank you for helping the
PTO support our school!

Got your Coupon Book?
The
Coupon Book Fundraiser will start soon...
Please check the website and your
child's backpack for more information very soon.
These make great gifts
and it is the Student Council's only fundraiser.
The profits go to classroom
supplies and projects throughout the school, and the 8th Grade trip in the
spring.
Thank you for your very generous support of this fundraiser.
It
means so much to the kids.

Teacher Help
Speaking
of gifts, if you are trying to think of that "something special" you
can get for your students team or teacher, the gift of classroom supplies are
always welcomed and encouraged!
Everything from pencils to tissues and
gift cards are a huge help for every classroom.
Or maybe promise to be a
chaperone at your teams dance.
Again thanks for your never ending support.
