We have 150 uniforms to be washed before the end of the school year. Can you help? We are looking for 15 parents to take 10 uniforms each for machine washing. (Washing instructions and tips will be provided).

Mr. Riler will have them available for pick up June 6–10 during the school day and they need to be returned to the band room by June 14 @ 3:00 pm. If you can help, please inform Heather Randol at hmsrandol@hotmail.com and stop by the school any time during the school day June 6–10 to pick up 10 uniforms. Questions? email hmsrandol@hotmail.com.
