Equipping HMSA Students for Math Success and Beyond
Funded Mar 30, 2025I am beyond grateful for your generosity in fully funding our DonorsChoose project! Because of you, our students now have access to TI-84 calculators and whiteboards that will make a real difference in their math learning—both in and out of the classroom. These tools will support after-school tutoring, interventions, and test prep for the SAT, PSAT, and ACT, ensuring that no student is limited by financial barriers.
Your kindness is helping create a supportive and equitable learning environment where every student can excel. Thank you for believing in our students and their potential—you are truly changing lives!”
With gratitude,

HMSA Care Cart
Funded Dec 11, 2024The Care Cart has quickly become a meaningful resource for our students, providing them with essential hygiene items they may not have access to at home. Since it is housed in our private room—where students also check out loaner uniform pieces—it allows them to grab what they need without drawing attention. Many students have quietly taken advantage of the Care Cart, picking up items like deodorant, toothbrushes, or hairbrushes without hesitation. One particularly impactful moment was when a student, who initially asked if we had a brush, later returned and discreetly took a few other items. They expressed appreciation, sharing that they didn't always have these products at home and felt more confident having them on hand.
When students first saw the materials, their reactions varied from curiosity to quiet relief. Some immediately asked if they could take what they needed, while others took mental notes and returned later. We've noticed that simply knowing these items are available has encouraged students to be more proactive about their hygiene needs. Moving forward, we hope to continue restocking the Care Cart and ensuring it remains a consistent, judgment-free resource. As part of our broader efforts to support students and their well-being, we'll continue fostering a school environment where students feel cared for and supported beyond academics.”
