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.

Teacher's Lounge Restock!
The HMS PTO is committed to keeping the teachers' lounges stocked with coffee, cups, creamer, sugar, paper towels, and hand soap. A member of the Teacher Treats committee restocks and cleans the lounges at the beginning of each week. We need YOUR help to continue this for the remainder of the school year. Please consider donating an item to our HMS teachers' lounges. Our faculty is SO grateful and appreciative of this effort… they have told us over and over how much these little “extras” help get them through each week. |
Let's Show Our Faculty & Staff Some TLC!
Each year, parents are offered the opportunity to show their appreciation to our faculty and staff at HMS by purchasing treats from Nothing Bundt Cakes. We are grateful for such generous parents and are excited to be able to report that all of our faculty and staff have been gifted a certificate from Nothing Bundt Cakes!

HMS Families,

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.
