20,230 meals were provided to our Hawkins Co community today by an outstanding group of School Nutrition professionals! HCS is so proud of their hard work in the heat and rain to feed hungry bellies. Rogersville City Police assisted with traffic at JRP to keep everything running smoothly. JRP also had members of the community, former and current students from CHS, and several HCS school and district employees. VHS was also blessed with a few students volunteers from CHMS.
Hawkins County School's final food box distribution will be Thursday, June 25, 2027. During the month of July, YMCA of Greater Kingsport will be doing food box distribution on each Thursday from 3pm-5pm at JRP and Volunteer.
Fun data fact: approximately 225 meals per minute were provided! #HCSignite #FeedKids #SchoolNutrition





"Our students need to be supported during this time in their life, and we want to be there and support them in the best way possible." – Bobbie Bernard, Hawkins Elementary Principal. 💙
Teachers confront issues of grief and loss every day. To ensure our students are fully supported, Carters Valley Elementary, Hawkins Elementary, and Joseph Rogers Primary recently underwent training to become designated "Grief-Sensitive Schools" by the New York Life Foundation! In addition to the training, each school received a $500 grant.
They proudly join Mt. Carmel, Mooresburg, and Church Hill Middle in this initiative. Director Matt Hixson is challenging all HCS schools to get trained so we can continue to be a safe, supportive space for students in difficult times.
