HMS Community Service Club Announcement | ARRCs Fundraiser
The HMS Community Service Club is a group of students who want to make a difference in our community. Apart from doing acts of kindness and creating cards for public service workers in our community, we are now asking for your help.
After looking at many different organizations that support others, we have decided to help out the Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society (AARCS). AARCS is an animal welfare organization that helps homeless animals in our community. This non-profit organization acts as a temporary residence, ensuring animals receive appropriate care, medical support, and love while awaiting adoption into forever homes.
How can you help?
We are collecting donations of gently used or new items (or if you prefer a monetary donation). To help us out please send donations to the school up to November 29 and we will deliver them to AARCS.
ITEMS WE CAN ACCEPT
- Opened (kibble) & unopened (kibble and canned) pet food – please tape securely shut prior to drop off. RAW NOT ACCEPTED.
- Durable pet toys
- Cat toys / catnip / cat treats
- Cat trees in good condition
- Pet dishes
- Dog beds (must be clean and easy to wash)
- Cat beds
- Plastic/hard-sided kennels (all sizes) (please ensure all hardware is present)
- Wire kennels (good working condition)
- Leashes/collars
- Grooming brushes
- Towels / blankets
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and generosity.

November School Conferences | Teacher Led
Our next round of School Conferences is coming up soon. Conference Booking Opens on November 20 and you can sign up through your MyCBE account. School Conferences provide time for families to discuss their child’s progress and achievement in relation to the intended learning goals. This is also a time for teachers to share evidence of individual student progress and achievement. These conferences are one of the formal reporting opportunities the CBE has structured to ensure families understand their child’s achievement over the course of the reporting period. The next formal reporting opportunity will be through report cards in January.
First GSA Club Meeting
On December 4, 2024, HMS will be hosting our first Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) Club for students. We know there may be some questions around this, so we have provided a short Q&A below to give you some more information.
Q - What is a GSA?
A - Gay-Straight Alliances (GSAs) are student clubs made up of students with diverse sexual orientations and/or gender identities as well as allies (e.g., cisgender, heterosexual students). There are also teachers who serve as advisors.
Q - What is the purpose of a GSA?
A - The purpose of GSAs is to provide much needed spaces in which 2SLGBTQ+ students and allies have a safe place to meet and connect. These groups also work together to make their schools more welcoming for students with diverse sexual orientations and/or gender identities.
Q - Who is the club for?
A - The clubs is open to all students to foster a sense of belonging and respect for diversity.
Q - What will happen during the first GSA meeting?
A - Students will be creating club norms, sharing ways to create a sense of community and belonging, and deciding on a name for the club.
Future GSA Club Meetings will be on teh first Wednesday of every month.
