A Four Star School!

Hershey has earned Indiana's top award for schools - it has been deemed a Four Star School!

 It's based not only on academic achievement, but on attendance and other factors. 

The entire school celebrated together in an assembly. Dr. Hanback, Superintendent of TSC (and a former Hershey principal) joined with us as did Dr. Christy Fraley, TSC's Assistant Superintendent of Insstruction (also a former Hershey principal and mom of a current Hershey student.)

Linda Fields stood with them onstage to accept our award from the state.

We even had some special guests - the Harrison High School cheerleaders (several of whom are former Hershey students.) 

They led us in many cheers for the school and made the kids gasp with their flips, acrobatics, and pyramids.

But not only did we have the Harrison cheerleaders, East Tipp Middle School sent theirs.

All of them went to Hershey, and the very petite one in the front is one of my former students. They led us in cheers while Linda and some of the teachers onstage held up four stars.

As a surprise treat, someone donated popsicles for the entire school to enjoy as we celebrated the hard work the kids, faculty, and parents did in order to earn the distinction of being a Four Star School.

Congratulations, Hershey!!
