Wylie Rotary East Fork was so lucky to meet the new Principal of our adopted Wylie school Hartman Elementary.
Vanessa Hudgins was appointed as the principal of Hartman Elementary at the beginning of the 2023 school year. Principal Hudgins joined us for lunch at the beginning of the school year and spoke to us about how our club will be able to help Hartman Elementary and its teachers this year. Our first task was to raise the teachers' spirits as they entered into what they call "the doldrums of fall", when kids are just looking forward to fall break and Halloween.
We spent an afternoon writing notes of encouragement and validation for a job well done on spooky postcards and packed fun items like silly post-its and candy into festive bags. Volunteers delivered the cheerful packages to Principal Hudgins and the Hartman teachers the next week. We look forward to working with Principal Hudgins and Hartman Elementary this year as they celebrate their 60th Year Anniversary!
As the first school in Wylie, these "Cool Cats" aspire to maintain and further their legacy as the diamond of Wylie ISD.
