Ping Pong Tournament
On Thursday, December 17th, 43 ping pong players came to the chapel for an exciting and entertaining tournament. Organized by senior Sid Shah, students and faculty, came together for a great cause and to play some excellent ping pong.
The tournament was a lot of fun, but it was also for a great cause, 914-Cares. It is a local charity in Westchester that combats poverty throughout the county through drives and donations. Recently, Hackley has been targeting period poverty: the tournament raised about $700 in donations which will go to the hygiene bank for 914-Cares.
![Although the affect of COVID-19 has been on a decline with less cases and deaths allowing most of us to remain mask free, people on the Hilltop are still choosing to mask up. Personal health concerns as well as helping an elderly neighbor are reasons as to why middle school science teacher Emma Olsen still wears a mask years after the COVID-19 pandemic began. Since I am helping take care of him, you know I go over to work with his dogs, that kind of thing; I dont want to bring [the virus] home to him, Ms. Olsen said.](https://hsdial.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/IMG_1713-450x600.jpg)
