Mardi Gras
Students had fun learning about and celebrating Mardi Gras. They enjoyed listening to Zydeco music, learning about Mardi Gras traditions, and sampling a classic Moon pie dessert.
The Third Grade led the HCA school community in prayer and song during last week's Ash Wednesday prayer service.
This week's Character Count winners are Alexa, Sofia, Cora, Gabbie, and Braelynn. Congratulations girls!
