TREASURES FOR TEACHERS:
Bringing your donations to local classrooms
The Germantown Education Foundation (GEF) has established a program called Treasures for Teachers. Our goal is to match the state funds for each GMSD teacher and honor them with an extra $100 to spend on classroom supplies. We are reaching out to community partners to match the funds given to each teacher. By donating $100 or more to this program, you are helping teachers purchase school supplies and instructional materials for his/her students.
Please click HERE to donate! We would love your support! Checks can also be mailed to the Germantown Education Foundation at 3350 Forest Hill Irene S., Germantown, TN 38138. For more information on sponsorship levels and to see a list of past sponsors, click HERE.

From Your PTO. . .
HMS Families,
One of the easiest ways for you to support our students and teachers is to join the PTO and make a donation to the Family Donation Drive. As a PTO member you will receive an HMS magnet and access to the online family directory. Members also will receive the weekly PTO newsletter. Check out the most recent edition of the newsletter below. This is a great resource to help keep you in the loop.
While you are joining the PTO, you can also make a donation to this year's Family Donation Drive. 100% of the funds raised in the Family Donation Drive go straight to HMS. This year's proceeds will help fund the HMS house system, technology and 21st century classroom redesign. Donors will receive a mask lanyard while supplies last.
TO JOIN AND MAKE A DONATION, PLEASE CLICK HERE. If you are new to Membership Toolkit, you will need to create an account. If you already have a Membership Toolkit account, you will need to update your account information (including updating your student's homeroom teacher). You can then click on "Join PTO" and complete the process.
Thank you for helping support our students and teachers!
