Message from Mrs. Hart:

The school year has sped by and now we have only one more week to go. This is the last family folder communication for this year. By the time you read this, we will have said our goodbyes to our eighth graders. Graduation was Friday evening. We were honored to have Representative Ben West Jr. present awards, from the Tennessee House Of Representatives, to our graduates. This is Representative Ben West's last year to present awards. He is retiring after over 30 years as our representative. Likewise, Mr. Larry Keeton, businessman and esteemed community leader, was on hand to also present awards. Our eighth graders have done well. We will always count them as “ours” and take pride in their accomplishments as they move on through high school and beyond. We love them and we will miss them but know they will succeed wherever they go and whatever
they do.
Congratulations to the following 7th graders who have qualified for State level recognition based on their performance on the ACT test: Zach Abdo, Christina Boyd, Hailey Lavender, and Anna Reding. These students were invited to a special recognition awards ceremony given at Vanderbilt University on Sunday, May 22nd. Although the students who participated in the 4th/5th grade TIP program are not normally recognized at the awards ceremony, we do have one student whose outstanding scores garnered him a place at the Recognition ceremony at Vanderbilt University on 5/22. Jordan Wirth (now in the 6th grade) scored in the 99th percentile on the ACT/EXPLORE test (a test normally reserved for 7th/8th graders). Jordan will receive special recognition at that ceremony.
We are proud of all our students. We are grateful for the support and cooperation of our parents throughout the year. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of our many volunteers for your time and dedication to HRA. You are all so very appreciated!!
On behalf of the Faculty and Staff, we wish you a happy and safe summer. Enjoy your time with your children. Pray together, have fun together.
God Bless you. Mary Hart
