A Hawk's Eye View: November 7, 2025

As the season of giving approaches, the HPA is excited to offer two special ways to support our community. Through our Second Harvest Food Drive and our partnership with Martha O’Bryan Center for the Angel Tree Program, families can make a meaningful difference this holiday season. Both programs reflect Harding Academy’s mission of nurturing caring citizens and provide a wonderful opportunity to model compassion and support for those in need.

Second Harvest Food Drive
Our annual Second Harvest Food Drive begins Monday! Red bags have gone home—please send them back with non-perishable items during morning hookup next week. Prefer to order online? You can also contribute through our Amazon list.

A huge thank you to our Second Harvest Food Drive chair Ashley Chadwick, step-up chair Deepa Magge, and our Facilities team for supporting this meaningful effort.

Angel Tree with Martha O’Bryan Center
We’re helping 100 children (infant–age 12) this holiday season. Wish lists are available HERE. You may sponsor one child or siblings ($100–$150 per angel).
Gift guidelines: Unwrapped; placed in a black/non-transparent bag; clearly labeled with the Family ID from the sign-up sheet; please assemble bicycles before drop-off.
Drop-off dates: Monday, December 8-Friday, December 12 during morning drop off.
Questions? Contact Meghan (meghan.kawecki@gmail.com) or Jacek Kawecki (Jacek.kawecki@gmail.com).

Thank you for showing our students what it means to care for our neighbors—small acts, big impact.
