Dear Harrison Families,

I hope this message finds you enjoying the long Memorial Day weekend! For those who participated in yesterday’s parade, I hope it was a meaningful and festive way to celebrate this important holiday with our Harrison community. A big thank you to the PTA for organizing our marching group!

Multicultural Night was a huge success! Thank you to all the families who created tables and to everyone who came to explore the incredible diversity that makes up our Harrison community. Special thanks to the Multicultural Night Committee and the PTA for their time, effort, and energy in making the evening so special. 

Our school mural is coming to life! Kindergartners and some first-grade classes have already left their mark. Thank you to all the parents who have helped so far. If you'd like to be part of this special project, there are still volunteer spots available; please check the sign-up here and scroll to the June dates.

The Livingston Public Library continues to offer excellent programs for our families. One upcoming event, the Book Buddy program, pairs enthusiastic teens with elementary students for an evening of reading fun. This initiative was started by a Harrison alum, so we encourage your participation in support of both our school community and your child’s love of reading. For details, visit the Livingston Library website

For 4th and 5th grade parents who have a child in Chorus, Band, or Orchestra we will have our Spring Concert this Thursday, May 29th at 7:00pm at Mount Pleasant Middle School! Please make sure to come to the correct middle school for this event and review any information sent from your music teachers.

Our Spring Picnic is coming up soon; June 3rd from 5:00–7:00 PM! Don’t forget to pre-order pizza by May 30th using this flier.
