Dear Families,
Yesterday we were honored by 18 veterans who visited HKMS and presented to all classes. It was a powerful reminder of how much so few of us have had to sacrifice to keep our great nation safe and our way of life protected.  

To honor veterans today our Peer Leaders Club is partnering with the "300 Boodle Brigade" (a West Point parent group) to collect, package, and send care packages to active duty solders stationed oversees.  See their donation list in the image below.

Collections end today!  Please consider sending in any of the suggested items, or "sponsoring a box." The packages cost $30 each to ship. To sponsor a box, please send a check into the HKMS Students Activity Fund and we will make sure your donation helps to subsidize the shipping costs (in the note please indicate "300 Boodles Brigade"). Please do not send any perishable food items, alcohol (even wipes or sanitizer), tobacco, items that use batteries, nail polish, perfumes, or adult oriented materials. 

Regardless of how you show you appreciation, please be sure you find some way to thank a veteran today.   Wishing all of those who served and their families, a well-deserved day of appreciation and gratitude! 

On Behalf of the Entire HKMS Community, Happy Veteran's Day,
Steve Clapp, Ed.D.
Principal
