Ice cream social starts school

Faculty, parents and students from Hope Academy of Public Service and Yerger Middle School enjoyed an end of summer/back to school treat Tuesday during an ice cream social hosted by principals Dr. Carol Ann Duke and Joscyln Wiley at Hempstead Hall on the University of Arkansas Hope-Texarkana campus. The Hope High School Bobcat Marching Band Drum Line was on hand to show its stuff, a reminder of football and marching season which begins Aug. 22 in Texarkana. The first home stand for the Bobcats will be against Prescott on Sept. 15 at Hammons Stadium on the HHS campus. – Ken McLemore/Hope Public Schools\r\n
