Congrats to HMS's own Kennedy and Aiyanna who won a coveted ASD-N CUTE Award on Thurday night!Under the category of Photo Essay, the girls' project, entitled “Lucas’s New Friend”, came away with the win. Harkins Middle was also nominated under the categories of 21st Century Learning and Digital Audio-Musical.Way to go, Kennedy and Aiyanna- we are very proud of you!
Xavier, Yvonne and Zack arrived at school at three different times. They each
brought one of their favorite snacks to share with the other two (one brought
pretzels; one brought cookies; one brought licorice), and their favorite sports
apparatus (one brought a baseball; one brought a soccer ball; one brought a
football).
We know a few other facts:
1. The first to arrive did not bring cookies.
2. Xavier arrived second and brought a football.
3. Yvonne arrived before Zak.
4. The person who brought cookies also brought a baseball.
