🎉 HMF Weekly Update – Walk-a-Thon Countdown! 🎉

👟 Walk-a-Thon – We Are SO Close!

📅 April 24 | 🕒 3:15–5:00 PM | 📍 School Track

We are officially in the final stretch and are just $2,500 away from our fundraising goal! 🎯

👉 Check out all event details and start fundraising HERE

I’ve had a few questions about what fundraising means with our upcoming move to Gardner, and I want to be very clear:

👉 100% of funds raised at Walk-a-Thon follow us to our new campus.

These funds will go directly toward enriching our students’ experience in the 2026–2027 school year, including:
• Field Trips 🚌
• Starting Arts 🎶
• Assemblies 🎭
• Teacher & classroom supplies 🍎

Your generosity ensures that no matter where we are, the magic of Hammer continues.

🌈 Cultural Posters – Let’s Show Who We Are

We would absolutely LOVE to see strong participation in our “We Are Better Together” Cultural Posters.

This is more than just an activity—it’s a chance to celebrate the diversity, stories, and uniqueness that make up our Hammer family.

👉 Please bring your posters!
• Drop off at the front office in the morning
• OR bring them to Walk-a-Thon and we’ll display them around the track

Let’s create something truly powerful together. 💫

Guidelines can be found HERE
