Recently, members of the #HarrisMiddleSchool Student Council went on a reward field trip to Dollywood. Mrs. Lawell, sponsor of #HMS Student Council, had this to say about their recent trip: "So proud of our Student Council! Students who earned enough points were invited on a reward field trip to Dollywood, and several of our leaders were so active all year that they earned the trip for free. Well deserved! We didn’t manage to grab a full group photo at the park, but we did get a great shot with the crew who rode back on the bus to Buc-ee’s. It’s truly a privilege to serve and teach these kids. They are amazing!" Thank you Mrs. Lawell, Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Trice, and Mrs. Stallings for taking some of our wonderful HMS Student Council members on trip they will never forget! #SoarAboveTheRest
