Around the Academy

HCA eighth graders helped make cupcakes for a fundraiser for the Casa Cornelia Law Center in San Diego, California, which provides pro bono legal services to victims of human and civil rights violations. The center is sponsored by the Society of the Holy Child Jesus.





Second and third graders learned about fire safety with Alexis McGarvey, stepmother of HCA third grader Kirsten Blake. Alexis works for Tyco Fire Protection Products and shared fire safety tips with the students.
