Epic Weekend!
Sun, Oct 17 7:01pm

What an amazing weekend! The fall festival was a huge success!  The weather heals out and everyone had a wonderful time.  Thank you to the entire Fall Festival Committee for organizing a wonderful event!  Also, a huge shout out to all the volunteers from Hall High School, thank you so much for your help!  

 

Aiken Coat Drive!
This is a great chance to give back to our community! The weather is finally turning cooler, and we are hopeful you will help us by sorting through your closets for winter items you can donate to families in need. We are looking for new or gently used scarves, hats, snow pants, coats, mittens, etc. The coat drive will kicked off this weekend at the fall festival and run for two weeks through Friday, October 19th. We will have a box at the festival and then outside the main office where students can drop off items. The coat drive will benefit The Bridge Family Center in West Hartford. Thank you in advance!
