🎉 Congratulations, to our Student-Athletes of the Month for September!
We celebrate Softball Player, Ella Kelsey 🥎 and Football Player, Miles Bruin 🏈
Coach Smith stated, "Ella Kelsey is the epitome of hard work. Through hard work and determination, Ella is a starter this year and a huge contributor to the team's success."
Coach Ballard shared that, "Miles is the definition of Hawk Pride and a captain. He holds his teammates accountable and is always there to back them up."
✨ Students in Ms. Williams’ class put a fun twist on learning scientific notation by creating fortune tellers! 🔥❄️ The big challenge? Fire vs. Ice! Who knew learning could be this cool? 💡

🥣🥳 Attention Hawks—our Cereal Wars have officially gone out with a crunch! 🥳🥣
In third place, with a “Grrreat” effort, 7th grade stacked up 102 boxes.
In second place, just a spoonful ahead, 8th grade poured in 104 boxes.
But the real cereal superstars are… 🥁 the 6th grade, who absolutely CRUNCHED the competition with 250 boxes!
That means our 6th graders have earned free seating Fridays in October—talk about a “bowl-d” victory! 🏆
Altogether, we collected 456 boxes for the Buffalow Family and Friends Food Pantry! These will be added to Hickory High School’s total as we team up to snap, crackle, and pop Great Bridge in the Battle of the Boulevards!
Thanks to everyone who donated!!!
