THE HMS THERAPEUTIC WORKOUT ROOM

The HMS Therapeutic Workout Room can also be known as The Chill Room. It was established in 2019 and funded through a grant that was written by Ms. West, the previous 5th and 6th grade School Counselor, and Mrs. Bobo, the previous 7th and 8th grade School Counselor, here at HMS. In here, you can find yoga mats, exercise bicycles, mindfulness journals, and other useful tools for emotional regulation. It is open to students and staff throughout the day as an area to calm down, hang out, or relieve some stress. Come check it out or ask the HMS school counselors about it for more information.

CAREER DAY

In the fall term of every school year, the HMS counseling department hosts a career day. The purpose of this day is to allow students to explore their career interests, talk to professionals about specific careers, and learn about opportunities that are available in their future. A variety of occupations are represented at our career day. For example, in the past, we have had firefighters, dentists, veterinarians, doctors, chiropractors, and several different types of small business owners. We are always looking to connect and collaborate with resources in our community. Please email the HMS school counselors for further information regarding this event.

DONATION CLOSET

The donation closet at HMS is yet another great way students can take advantage of their resources. The donation closet can be located in the front office and contains clothing, shoes, and hygiene products, such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, feminine care, or deodorant. The HMS counseling department will gladly assist any students in finding the supplies that they need. Please let us know if you or someone else could benefit from this program.

​

Right now, the donation closet is seeking more shoes, basketball shorts, and leggings of any size or a one size fits all. Donations are greatly appreciated!
