New Hope Academy held its annual fall picnic on Friday, October 1st at Core Creek Park. Students and staff from the Yardley and Doylestown campuses gathered together to officially kick off the school year. The picnics are a prime opportunity for everyone to get better acquainted, as well as a chance to welcome new teachers and students to NHA. The menu included hot dogs and hamburgers, all of which were cooked to perfection. Also served were salads, chips, and desserts, which are always a favorite amongst the attendees.

Students and staff passed the time playing football and basketball, while others played Jenga, danced, tossed the frisbee, or simply hung out with friends. Adding to the fun was a raffle held by the theater department that benefitted the upcoming fall drama, “Clue.” NHA’s traditional fall picnic is a unique event that many look forward to — and once again, they were not disappointed!
