Perhaps one of this summer's most engaging classes! Ms. Pearson pulls out incredible energy from her students as they read from "Nothing but the Truth," a documentary by Avi. This ELA class dramatizes, uses make-shift props & sings the National Anthem! They are AMAZING! #welldone

LITERACY: a key component of the exciting summer program at Longview & Viewmont Elementary Schools! In Ms. Jenny Wadsworth's class, students are taking part in activities about "The Great Kapok Tree" - a new favorite! Discovering science, social studies & math through reading! 📚

[Hickory City Schools @hickoryschools]

Summer sonnets? Absolutely! In Gary Moore's theatre summer program @ HHS, students not only get the chance to role-play, they create sonnets, much like the days of Shakespeare (1600's):"So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see; So long lives this, and this gives life to thee."

Oh, so close! Hickory High grad, J.T. Poston came very close to winning the Barbasol. The 28-year-old Poston missed a chance for his 2nd PGA TOUR title. He won the 2019 Wyndham Championship--and we support J.T. completely for future wins! #HPSProud https://t.co/mSShOvKM59
