We’re sharing a few moments from the Acting Without Boundaries Acting Lab Club. 🎭

For many of our families, one of the biggest questions is what comes next after HMS. Programs like this are designed with that in mind.

Funded through the William Penn Grant, the Acting Lab Club connects students and families to inclusive community spaces they can continue to be part of beyond their time here.

By starting these experiences now, students are able to build confidence, familiarity, and real relationships while they are still supported. Our goal is for every transition to feel less uncertain and more like a natural next step.

A little reminder for our HMS family 💚

Dollar Stroll is happening tomorrow on Baltimore Avenue, and we’d love to see some familiar faces out there.

We’ll be set up right outside the school (4400 Baltimore Avenue), so please stop by, say hello, and grab some HMS swag. It’s always special to connect with all of you outside of the school day.

Please bring the kids, bring a friend, and come enjoy the neighborhood's energy with us.

Thank you to the Univest Financial team for spending the day with us at HMS, rolling up their sleeves for a backyard refresh and helping bring new life to our outdoor spaces.

Their time and effort directly support the spaces our students rely on every day, and it truly means a lot to our community.

Fun fact: Univest is also a supporter of our Annual Community Day. More details on this year’s event coming soon.

After announcing Art Educator and Recreation & Expressive Arts Therapies Supervisor Paige Knowles as a recipient of the Cultural and Arts Award of Excellence last week, we’re taking you inside her classroom.

Paige is constantly finding ways to make art accessible, designing and modifying materials herself so every student can fully participate. The tools our students use help them create beautiful art pieces every day through simple adaptations that enable access.

The 34th Annual Brighter Futures “My City, My Place” Awards event honors community members who support individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism.

How cool is this?
