Hunter Happenings

After hours of training and watching Jeopardy,  Ms. Holdren took a group of students to compete at the GHS Academic Quiz Bowl this past week. The students represented us well by capturing third place and might have even placed higher were it not for the students repeatedly giving answers in the form of questions.

Also out and about were Mr. Hale and his T. W. Hunter Art Council. The students were able to tour the Frist Center. While there, the council members were able to experience several exhibits, including the Fairy Tales, Monsters, and the Genetic Imagination exhibit, and see the  area reserved for Mr Hale's future pieces. The students are pictured below in front of Sculpture Will Ryman's Rose on 65th Street.
