School Swag Interest Survey 

It has been a few years since we’ve had our blue HMS t-shirts available for purchase. Because we are a small school, the HMS Parents Association is seeking to determine family interest in purchasing new HMS t-shirts and/or hoodies. Vendors typically require a minimum order, so we are asking everyone to take this short 1 minute survey to guide next steps. Your participation is appreciated. The survey will be open until January 24, 2025. 

Coco Brooks Fundraiser 

The Haultain Memorial School Parents Association is excited to announce their partnership with Coco Brooks for a delicious and easy way to support our school. From now until February 6, 2025, you can place an order for their fantastic range of frozen pizzas, appetizers, and other tasty treats – all while helping raise funds for initiatives such as swimming lessons, in-school presentations, classroom enhancements and more. Check out our Fundraisers and Donations page to find out how it works.

Jump Rope for Heart  

February is Heart Month and our school is participating in Jump Rope for Heart. Students will discover fun ways to get active, practice healthy habits and learn how skipping can provide a quick, effective fitness workout. During our kickoff assembly on January 27, our “Student Jump Team” will showcase a variety of skipping skills to inspire our school to get jumping! 

Skipping activities will take place during our Physical Education classes in February. We will hold our Jump Event Day on Wednesday, February 12 and we welcome families to come skip with us. (This will take place during your child’s gym time – teachers will share information closer to the date). 

Students and families are invited to collect donations for the Heart & Stroke Foundation to help them advance life-saving research and provide education about heart disease and stroke prevention. Our Jump Rope for Heart fundraising campaign is open now until February 25. We have a school goal of raising $500.  

Happy skipping!
