DARK DESIGNS. BEND VIBES. SCHOOL SPIRIT THAT REFUSES TO WALK THE PLANK.

Introducing ALL HANDS ON DECK, our NEW spirit wear collection, dropping just in time for spooky season.

Dark, a little eerie, and made for Buccaneers who prefer their school spirit with an edge. These designs bring a different side of HBMS pride to the table, just in time for the season of skeletons, shadows, and all things slightly sinister.

And in case you haven't discovered it yet, the HBMS Online Spirit Store is OPEN on our PTO Website:

https://www.hbms-pto.org/category/all-products

It's your go-to for Buccaneer gear, new designs, and school spirit worth showing off. Even better? 100% of profits go back to the HBMS PTO to support our students, teachers, and staff. Every purchase helps fund the programs, resources, and extras that make our school community a little better.

So go ahead. Embrace the dark side. Show off your Bend Vibes. Support your school while you're at it.

Shop the HBMS Online Spirit Store. Your Buccaneer gear looks good. Giving back looks even better.

One post just wasn’t enough for the first-ever HBMS Kermés!

There was too much good food, too much shopping, too many great vendors, and WAY too much fun to fit into one post. ❤️

We also have to give a BIG shout-out to Ortho 360 Orthodontics and Alsies Ice Cream Truck for coming out and celebrating with us! These two businesses have been such wonderful supporters of HBMS PTO, and it meant so much to have them there sharing in the fun with us!

So here’s Round 2 of the Kermés love - more photos, more memories, and another big THANK YOU to everyone who came out and made the afternoon so much fun!

And if you spotted that gorgeous HBMS Spirit Blanket in the photos… yes, you can get one too! They’re available for pre-order through the HBMS PTO website and make a pretty great holiday gift!

We’re already thinking… when’s the next one?!

THIS SUNDAY
KERMÉS Fall Festival & Market, 3–6 PM
Don Mario’s Mexican Restaurant
1113 Ranch Road 620 N

Despite what the weatherperson may say, this weekend is going to be awesome. We’re trucking along, crossing our fingers and planning on a great afternoon at HBMS’s very first Kermés Fall Festival & Market!

And really… shopping and tacos can handle a few drops of rain. If Mother Nature decides to join the party, Don Mario’s has a covered area, so we’ll have a place to duck in, dry off and keep the fun going.

This is an afternoon for the whole family - come shop, grab dinner, discover some local businesses, hang out with friends, and make the first HBMS Kermés one to remember.

And there’s a pretty good reason to shop a little while you’re there: 10% of all vendor sales goes directly back to HBMS PTO to support our teachers and staff.

JEWELRY VENDOR SPOTLIGHT

Stellina Jewelry |

If you love jewelry that feels special but still works for everyday, you’ll want to stop by Stellina. Their collection features beautiful 14K gold jewelry for babies, kids, teens and adults, including delicate earrings, bracelets, necklaces and timeless pieces that make especially sweet gifts.

Share the Blossom | .the.blossom

Meaningful jewelry with a story behind it. Share the Blossom offers necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings and giftable pieces inspired by connection, resilience and celebrating the people who matter most. It’s the kind of booth where you might come looking for a gift and leave with something for yourself, too.

And that’s just two of the vendors you’ll find Sunday! We’ll have shopping, treats, handmade goodies and more - plus Don Mario’s will be serving up the delicious food, so you can shop AND eat without making another stop.

Come be part of HBMS’s first Kermés, support local businesses, support our school and enjoy an afternoon with the family!

MEET MORE OF OUR KERMÉS VENDORS!

Handmade artisan jewelry by Katy featuring turquoise, pearls, and gemstones. Beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces with plenty of personality!

Success Shack

Meet Jodi Gosnell, an educator with 23+ years of experience helping students grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Success Shack provides a supportive space where students build academic skills, confidence, creativity, and life skills.

And there’s more where that came from! We have a great lineup of local vendors joining us for our first Kermés.

Come shop, discover something new, and support our Hudson Bend Middle School PTO. While you’re here, grab a drink and dinner from Don Mario’s and make an afternoon of it!
