2018 Hardy Golf Outing

Another Hardy PTO golf outing is in the books!  Sunday, May 20th saw 140 people (and little bit of rain) having a great time at Cattails Golf Club. Thank you to ALL of our supporters- sponsors, golfers, donors - who truly made this event an amazing success. If you visit Hardy in the near future, you will notice the sponsor tee box signs in the front landscaping bed.  It is fantastic to have such generous community members that want to help our students! 

The funds raised from the outing will be used for the following initiatives:

  • 36 Chrome books
  • Headphones and Computer mice
  • a LARGE purchase of books to update and enhance the guided reading library
  • Alternative seating options for students which will be spread out among the classrooms
  • End of the year fun for all students at Field Day
  • Other PTO plans

We want to extend special thanks to our premium sponsors, Dr. Ashley Reynolds of Crescent Orthodontics and Jeni Hubenschmidt of Homes by Jeni.  Both of these fantastic people have been consistent and avid helpers to the Hardy PTO and Hardy Students. 

We also want to thank Karen Lippowiths of Karen Lippowiths Photography for her Gold Sponsorship and donation of photo sessions.  She also acted as "outing photographer" and has made the photographs available to view.  If you'd like to check out the fun from the outing, please go to www.karenlippowiths.com.  Click "Events" and select "Hardy Golf Event." 

The complete and final updated sponsor, donor and "special thanks" list is below.  It is also on display by the front office at Hardy.  The list is overwhelming.  We cannot thank our supporters enough for their contributions! 

We hope to see you next year at the outing!

Howdy Hardy Parters!

The Staff enjoyed all aspects of the event from the delicious daily food to the wonderful notes, treats and supplies sent in from you.  

MUCH planning goes into something like this.  

Please join us in appreciating CHEERS, co-chaired by Bridget Iovan and Jody Shade.  Their dedication and efforts to all details and special touches made the week so very memorable for the Hardy Staff. 

Also, many thanks to the numerous volunteers that helped: the Decor team, the set-up, pick-up, clean-up crew and the photo helpers.  We couldn't have done any of this without your help! 

Finally, please take a moment to review the many people and companies that donated or provided food or funds to make this week a success! 

  • Aubree's Pizzeria and Grill
