On Friday, April 8th, we will celebrate Red Sox Opening Day!  Students may wear a hat into school for $1.00.  Hot Dogs and Cheeseburgers will be on the school lunch menu. Popcorn and Hoodsie Ice Creams will be sold for .50 each.  All proceeds will benefit the Horace Mann Family Fund.  Over this past year we have been able to help many families.  Celebrate the beginning of the Red Sox Season while supporting this worthwhile fund.  Thank you very much for your generosity and support!  GO SOX! 

The Horace Mann Family Fund was established in 2005 as a way to support families in our community who, due to illness, a tragedy or traumatic event, find themselves in need. Each year, the committee sponsors a Red Sox Opening Day Fundraiser in April. All requests and distributions are kept in strict confidence.

If you, or someone you know, because of illness, tragedy or traumatic event, could benefit from this fund, please contact one of the HMFF board:
