HKE's Fundraising for Reopening!

HKE extended its summer break in 2013 after camp panther took place, and the students have waited patiently for the reopening of their beloved school. However, the principal Ms. Mindy has had some RL events that have prevented her finances from going to the school's reopening. The school's reopening has been postponed now for another month, but the students have stepped up and want to help Ms. Mindy raise the funds to get the school open sooner rather then later. What a great way to step up students! That shows the student's true love and commitment to their school. The first Event that the students have put together is the Campfire Reading & Open Mic. On Saturday, Februrary 15 at 11:00am and 5:00pm, the students gathered around the campfire and sang songs, shared poems, told stories and Ms Mindy even did some fun Q & A on the HKE teachers that joined the campfire circle and let students share embarrassing moments that they remember of their regular teachers. It was an afternoon and evening of fun, unity and laughter. The student government put this event together to help raise money to go toward the school, so of course students were encouraged but not required to donate to the donation box that was set out at the campfire. So far we have raised around 25K in lindens and this is only the first fundraising event! All in all, an event that was put together to raise money turned out to be a successful day of reunion of all the HKE alumni and friends; seeing everyone together has definitely made everyone look forward to having HKE opened again so they can come together in the place they call their home, the home of Hardknock Elementary School.

Below are some photographs of the featured event. Enjoy and feel free to comment :D
