Second grader Hux Schnur traded his backpack for a day in charge as Jackson Academy’s Head of School for the Day.
Hux, a student in Allison Weems’ class, started his day bright and early at 7:40 a.m., meeting Head of School Eddie Wettach at the Lower School Office to help greet families in morning carpool. From there, he joined Head of Lower School Mary-Crosby Roberts for Lower School announcements and stopped by her office for a morning meeting before welcoming students and leading prayer at Lower School Chapel in the Performing Arts Center.
No head of school’s day is complete without checking in on academics. Hux visited Jacob Sullivan’s AP Biology class to review a cellular respiration lab alongside Upper School students.
Next, it was time for athletics. Hux met Coach Rob Triplett and members of the Raider football team, trading passes with players on the field. He then joined JA’s Voice of the Raiders Bryan Eubank for a behind-the-scenes tour of the Raider Network truck, where JA’s games and events are broadcast.
After some time back in STEM class, Hux, with Mr. Wettach, met his friends Barrett Kellum and Howard Hoseman for lunch at a reserved table in the JA Café. Mr. Eubank then gave Hux a campus tour by golf cart.
Hux wrapped up his day on the baseball field with Head Coach Chuck Box and the Raider baseball team. He ran drills with the players, took a turn in the batting cage, and left with a signed baseball to remember his day!
