START 2012 (UPDATE)

The inaugural version of S.T.A.R.T (Student Teamwork And Readiness Training) began with a "snowball fight" and ended with a group photo.  In between, there was a full day of training, teaching, videos, team building, games, and pizza.  The morning was spent with Mr. Dohring, Mr. Hough, and Mrs. Chugg leading teaching sessions on variety of topics including purpose in life, spiritual giftedness, God's calling, Godly relationships, and more.  HCA student-created videos providing "survival skill" tips were interspersed throughout.

After a quick trip to Heritage Park and a pizza feed, HCA senior Chris Earnshaw and the rest of the student leadership team led a series of team-building activities including pyramid building and an Amazing Race style trip around Heritage Lake.

Many thanks to the HCA staff and upperclassmen who work tirelessly throughout the summer to plan and implement this event.  From the smiles on the weary faces of the 7th grade class, it was a great success.
