Hennessey First-Timers

Thursday was 41 new pre-k students’ first experience of Hennessey Public School. Friday was Gov. Kevin Stitt’s. Superintendent Dr. Mike Wood hosted State Sen. Chuck Hall, Stitt and State Rep.-elect Mike Dobrinski (top photo, from left) on a tour of the campus. Stitt expressed admiration of Hennessey’s new event center, noting that he’d be surprised to see a comparable facility at a 6A school. (He took a moment to show off his ball handling skills in one of the locker rooms (bottom left photo). Stitt also admired the district’s technology, which allows students to access classrooms virtually from home via their phones as well as from their school-issued Chromebooks. Meanwhile, some of the pre-k students who didn’t let the district’s COVID-19 protocols mask their enthusiasm included (clockwise from top right) Karsyn Fipps, daughter of Brady and Allison Fipps and Jordan Streck; Allen Wood, son of Brandon and Tonya Smith; Dawson Powell, son of Taylor Black; Cesar Roman, son of Cesar and Araceli Roman; Blake Moulton, son of Brice and Laura Moulton, and Weston Jones, son of Everett and Lindsey Jones.
