A Few Words from Ms. Golden
On December 18 our CPA Department will put on their annual Winter Program at
7:00 p.m. Put this on your calendar.
The Winter Holidays begin on the afternoon of December 19; students return
to school on January 5.
In order to recognize the historical significance of this Inauguration Day,
our Board of Education members have declared that on January 20 schools will
be closed. It is their intention that we are all free to be part of history
rather than to read about it as an afterthought.
As I informed you some time ago, our school is in the midst of a financial
crisis. It is our hope that due to your support of our Fall Fundraiser, that
our problems will have been somewhat lessened. Many years ago my father
taught me a lesson that has stuck with me throughout my life -- to give to
others in their need. I remember as an adult once asking him what he wanted
for Christmas; he replied that if he wanted or needed anything, he would buy
it himself. When I persisted that I needed to give him a present, he asked
me to give to a charity in his name. Then started a tradition that continues
today in our family among the adults. I request in this time of need in our
country that if you are looking to do the same that you consider a donation
to HMS to support our incentive program for our students or to help us to
pay for the multicultural assemblies that we bring in three times a year. We
truly appreciate those of you who already do that -- and we understand if
this year for others it is impossible.
We are in need of gently worn coats. In the past we have had the funds to
purchase new ones for students at HMS in need. However, due to our financial
problems, we are unable to make such purchases this year. If you have gently
work coats that you could donate, please send them in to Ms. Robinson so
that we can give them to our students who are without warm coats. Students
also need hats, scarves, and gloves. NOTE: If your child does not
have a coat and needs one, please let Ms. Robinson know so that we can see
what we can do.
Our Sophisticated Ladies sponsored by Ms. Gray are now collecting gently
worn clothing in their holiday clothing drive. If you have clothing to
donate, the donation box is in the Main Lobby or you may contact Ms. Gray at
301-209-5830.
