Basketball Season is Under Way.

Basketball season is in full swing here at T.W. Hunter Middle.  Both teams are off to good starts. The boys disposed of all three Hendersonville rivals. They took care of Ellis and Hawkins on the road, while winning the home opener against Knox Doss. The girls bounced back from a loss in their opener to Ellis to win their next two against Hawkins and Knox Doss. Both teams are back in action tonight at White House Middle.

 Things got kicked off with a pep rally before our home opener during which both the boys and the girls teams were introduced.

Might Need an Extra Gallon of Milk


Our semi-truck load of cookie dough arrived late last week. We want to thank all of those who bought and sold cookie dough. Also a special thanks to those teachers and students who helped sort pallet after pallet of cookie dough.

We've Been Busy

We celebrated the season with a fall festival back on October 31st. There were costume contests, games involving the teachers and students including a dodge ball tournament that the teachers and staff won, but the teachers flash mob stole the show. The festival was followed that Friday by some basketball. It was the staff vs the students with the proceeds benefiting the United Way. Students were chosen from each grade to represent their classmates. The students fought hard, but the staff prevailed in all three contests. Fun was had by all, and over one thousand dollars was raised for the United Way. The busyness continues this week on Thursday as over $85,000 worth of cookie dough will arrive to be sorted and distributed. Also on Thursday basketball season begins. Both the Lady Bucs and Bucs will open their season in The Round at Ellis Middle School.Good luck to our students.
