HEBRON — The eighth graders of the Middle School at Hebron Academy got together and planned a coat drive to benefit the Coats for Kids campaign last month. Spearheading the project were eighth graders Arianna Pinkham, Nicholas Johnson, Katie Schools and Caitlin Shelley. Over 325 coats, scarves, hats, gloves and mittens were collected, including more than 150 coats. Eighth grader Caitlin Shelley said, “For such a small middle school, I was so surprised how many things we collected. There will be so many more warm kids now!”

The Middle School at Hebron Academy is hosting an information session for its programs on Tuesday, February 15 beginning at 5:30 p.m. in the Office of Admission. The school is celebrating 20 years as an independent day school for boys and girls in grades six to eight, inspiring and guiding each student to reach his or her highest potential in mind, body, and spirit since 1991.
