Spring Sports Update

Baseball

The baseball season starts on March 11th against SCPS (A) due to a change in the SPAL schedule. HDS will have a bye week on April 4th. The first scrimmage is scheduled for Friday, March 5th.

Soccer

Both HDS soccer teams participated in scrimmages this past Tuesday:

Girls' Team: They won 2-1 against the visiting Savannah Homeschool team. The 5th-grade girls played great, supporting the varsity squad. Abby Waters (7th grade) and Taylor Mitchell (5th grade) scored for HDS.
Boys' Team: They lost 4-3 in a close match, played in rainy conditions. Coach Roberts gave playing time to many of the players to prepare for the upcoming season.

Track and Golf

Both teams are finishing up their final week of practice. Golf will hold qualifying matches to determine player positions. The track team has been practicing at BC when they cannot access SSU.

A Fun-Filled Sunday: Dads vs. Kids Basketball Game

This past Sunday afternoon was one for the books, as families came together for a friendly yet competitive Dads vs. Kids basketball game. It was an unforgettable bonding experience, leaving everyone with big smiles and cherished memories. While the game was all in good fun, the dads narrowly clinched victory by just one point. A huge thank you goes out to everyone who helped make the game a success. The event was the perfect way to wrap up an exciting basketball season!

February has already been a busy month in the library! On February 5th, we celebrated World Read Aloud Day. This fun day brought readers, writers, and listeners together to honor the joy of storytelling. Students enjoyed listening to some of their favorite books read aloud to them live by the authors, as well as participating in draw-alongs with the authors and illustrators.

In addition to World Read Aloud Day, we also celebrated the 100th Day of School and Valentine's Day this week. We read books about love, friendship, community and commitment. Students made special handmade valentines and wrote sweet poems for our community housebound seniors.

Thank you to all the families and their children who represented HDS at St. Vincent’s Academy’s Art Show on Monday. There was a great turn out and our kids were super excited to see their work on display. We’re making great progress on all of our projects and the tedious prep work has been worth seeing the ‘ah-ha’ moment for many of the students as we get close to finishing. I’m sure they will be very enthusiastic about showing you what they made in the coming weeks. Also, I’m students are still welcomed to bring their portfolios in anytime these next two weeks.
