This year Harwood NJHS students , along with their sponsors Ms . Reed and Mrs . Cooley , participated in the 6 Stones CPR day , giving back to the community by revitalizing homes around the HEB area . Students helped by painting , mowing , and clearing out brush for members of the community who are unable to perform these tasks on their own .
Recently , Midway Park Elementary campus adopter Atmos Energy delivered close to 80 “ blessings in a bag .” These bags are sent home with students on Fridays and provide students with food for the weekend .
On Saturday , April 30 , thousands of people enjoyed the HEB Reads ! Summer Reading Kickoff Party .
