Happy Days. Rosebud Academy. Unique Carter Elementary. Sunshine Elementary. All of these schools have come and gone since HardKnock Elementary closed in the summer of 2007. Many of its former students wished that this school had stayed around instead.
Well, sometimes wishes come true! HardKnock Elementary is back, bigger and better than ever! HKE Principal Jill Caldera and her husband, Gattz Gilman, had spent their time running Camp Hardknock. But many kids, most notably Chelsea Gregg, persuaded them to reopen the school. Abby Callisto, owner of Abby Lane kids furniture store, kindly donated land to rebuild the school and it looks beautiful!
There are MANY MANY kids who want to come to HKE. The open house was so packed, people couldn't get into the sim! Ms. Jill introduced the staff, including popular teacher Ms. Ava Breyer and nurse Fatima Lycra, and said that the school would have a 9am to 11am (SLT) session and a 5:30 to 7:30 pm (SLT) session. Hours are still being decided for European students who can't miss their sleepies to go to school!
HKE is going to have several clubs and activities, like swimming, cheerleading, theater, soccer and fencing. The gym is really cool and has exercise machines! There's a BIIIG playground too!
When the reopening of HKE was announced, kids who go to 3H Academy were scared that they would lose their school—rumors were flying! What is happening is that kids who were in Mr. Jace's class are following him to HKE! They will have their own classroom, but the style of teaching will stay the same...more studying things that YOU want to learn!!!
One adjustment for 3H kids will be wearing a uniform. It is in the school's colors, blue and gold, and actually is kinda nice! 3H kids will start school on March 13; the rest of the school starts on March 3.
