The HMS Grade 8 Committee will be running a few fundraising activities this fall to help reduce costs of end of year activities for grade 8 students and families. Please see the fundraising opportunities available to all HMS families and friends to help support the committee’s fundraising efforts

The first is a "No-Fuss" fundraising option where you can simply donate through Zeffy or Venmo @HMS-26  (This is the easiest way to make a big impact, with no effort!). Click “No-Fuss” for more information on how to donate. This is an ongoing fundraiser so family and friends can donate anytime. 

The second option right now is a Milford Spirit Wear Sale where $5 from each item sold will go directly toward the 8th grade. This sale is open to anyone since items will ship directly home! Click, Milford Spirit Wear for more information or click Lasting Impressions to go directly to the online store. 

This fundraiser will start on 10/19.

Next, Stonebridge Restaurant in Milford will be holding a fundraising night for us on October 27. We will get a percentage of sales when guests show the attached flyer (printed or on a phone is fine). This is an easy way to support a local restaurant and raise some funds for HMS 8th grade at the same time!

PLEASE feel free to share the above with family, friends, and anyone who would like to support the HMS 8th grade class of 2026. 

Families and friends can purchase delicious treats now through 12/4 from See's Candies to be shipped to your home.
