Congratulate your favorite student on an accomplishment, wish a student a Happy Birthday, show appreciation to your favorite teacher or staff member, celebrate a team win, or let everyone know how much you love our school!
The rock is available for weekly rental to families and staff of HRMS for their use and enjoyment.
Reserve the Spirit Rock for only $40.00 per week; all proceeds will go directly back to HRMS through our PTA
Please note that the PTA does NOT paint the rock. The person(s) who rent the rock are responsible for painting it.
