The Hope Academy of Public Service campus was buzzing Oct. 27 as HAPS hosted the Hope/Hempstead County Chamber of Commerce Community Coffee under the sponsorship of the Hempstead County Master Gardeners, represented by Kathryn Dickinson and Jan Dickinson McKinnon, and First National Bank of Tom Bean, represented by Phyllis Martin and Summer Harrison. Folks were given tours of the redecorated band hall and the Denny;s Place outdoor garden class space as the HAPS 7-8 grade band provided Hope Bobcat spirit music. – Ken McLemore/Hope Public Schools
