Operating Fund
Dear Friends of HMS,
As a former accountant, I’m often asked about a safe place for investments in these volatile financial markets.
With the way the stock market has been performing, I have no safe suggestions there! But if you care about the
minds and hearts of young persons, then Hinkletown Mennonite School (HMS) is my top recommendation. You
see, at HMS we are educating minds and shaping hearts based on God’s truth – and investments in the lives of
students are bearing wonderful dividends!
❖ “I am learning about God and Jesus at my school. It was on the bus that I asked Jesus into my heart.
That’s what I love about this school.” Grace, Grade 4
❖ “I gained a biblical foundation for life…. all the positive and life forming memories I have from HMS are
testimony to the impact that it has had in my life.” HMS Alumnus David Fry, Youth Pastor at Ephrata
Mennonite Church
❖ “I am grateful I can learn about God here and know how much God loves me.” Joy, Grade 3
❖ “I am so happy to go to a Christian school because you get to learn more about Jesus and you don’t have to
hide that you’re a Christian and it’s the best at Hinkletown Mennonite School. I’m so happy to be here.”
Max, Grade 4
At HMS we partner with families, grandparents, churches, businesses, and members of the community to fulfill our
mission. Your involvement and support are essential to the continued nurturing of students entrusted in our
care. Thank you for this active partnership!
Financial contributions are needed now more than ever, as the cost of quality Christian education is not fully
covered by tuition revenue. Will you consider an investment in the important mission of HMS? It is an investment
in young minds and hearts, which through God’s grace may bear many dividends!
Blessings!
