Fest supports HMS with showdown

Homewood Middle School was packed with fun and laughter at the second annual HMS Fest in November. The Fest raised approximately $14,000 to support the teachers with the latest technology and enhanced resources for their classrooms. 

The event began with a pasta dinner, and then the evening was filled with a showcase showdown of 13 extraordinary acts by HMS student and teacher groups. 

As part of the Fest, students sold smoked turkeys and hams from Southern Heritage Farms. This year, they also sold Chunky Chocolate Chip and White Chocolate Macadamia cookie dough. 

The grade level winners were: sixth grader Liza Jane Ponder, seventh grader Dalton Adelbert and eighth grader Hannah Crosswy. Liza Ashe was the wildcard winner.
