This Week in HN Sports

-The fall sports teams participated in a community service day on Sunday, September 19th. The football team and Girls Soccer team brought their hard work and determination from the playing field to the picking field as they harvested beans at the Grafton Community Barn in Grafton Mass. The Community Barn supplies fresh fruits and vegetables to the Worcester County Food Bank. The teams worked hard while enjoying some time with their teammates. Please check out the pictures of the day on the website. A huge thank you goes out to Mrs. Fritz and Nicholas Fritz who are regular volunteers at the Farm for putting the day together. We hope to do more volunteering in the future.


-Please visit the Girls Soccer Team next week at Savers Bank in Worcester Street in Grafton next Saturday morning for a car wash. The girls are raising money for their team equipment, including concussion headbands, as well as making a contribution to fight breast cancer.
