HMS Pulls Together

A good old fashioned tug of war was held on the Hastings Middle School grounds Friday afternoon, an annual celebration pitting the energy and enthusiasm of students in each grade against each other and also against the teachers. According to our community contributor Carlyn Cooper, a teacher at the school, this year the victory went to the 8th grade team who were then defeated in a close match by the teachers. Several students were pulled into the wading pools that served as the middle line but the real winner was Hastings Family service who received $7200 from the monies raised by the classes this year. More than 50,000 has been raised since the tradition began and the monies will help with school supplies that will be distributed through the Back Pack program at the end of the summer.
