• On October 22, popular author Dan Gutman visited Harrison School.  His presentation -- which included an informative slide show, a display of his many rejection letters, and a fake magic trick (telling the students that he can do something better than magic; he can take a blank piece of paper and create a story) -- was all about inspiration.  His message was simple and important:  never give up, combine your interests (even if they challenge you) with your abilities, and make your dreams come true!
