Hackley students continue to foster a relationship with 16 Hudson Scholars from Sleepy Hollow Middle School. The Hudson Scholars club, led by sophomore Amy Chalan, senior Roya Wolfe, and senior dean David Sykes, hosted the students on campus for an activity-packed day on Veterans Day. The new and returning volunteers reconnected with the sixth graders and even participated in a team building activity. Each team had to stack as many red plastic cups as they could without using their hands. Afterwards, they had lunch while watching videos from the summer enrichment program and then played soccer on Akin Common with Hackley students. The day concluded with a goal planning activity to give the scholars a path to achieving their academic goals. The club plans to host a Christmas party for the scholars and send volunteers to Sleepy Hollow Middle School for homework help.
