HARDY ELEMENTARY
May was a busy month at Hardy. We were excited to be able to help in several ways:
ATCM
BLUE MONARCH
FIRST THINGS FIRST
While Lecrae was in town for JFest, he went out of his way to meet the graduates of First Things First (FTF) Dad’s Making a Difference program. In 2024 he fell in love with the program after visiting and performing FTF’s Signature event. This was a time where Lecrae, a dad who grew up without a father, could share and encourage the dads in front of him.
May was a busy month at Hardy. We were excited to be able to help in several ways:

- Love Chattanooga volunteers attended the Hardy Field Day and were able to serve in various activities and areas to make the day special for all.
