    Dear Harrison Families,

    This past Thursday, we celebrated our final assembly together by watching the last Hawk Talk of the year. 

    On Monday, June 23rd, we will have our school-wide Pizza Party. All classes will watch our 5th graders playing with and/or against our staff in either Volleyball or Kickball. If the temperature is too hot on Monday and Tuesday, we will celebrate indoors by playing Volleyball where the school can cycle into the gym to cheer on our 5th graders! This event is for school staff only. Thank you to our PTA for their support and for providing a pizza celebration for all our school on Monday!

    On Tuesday, June 24th, it is a tradition that the 5th graders get clapped out of the school to celebrate their final day at Harrison. For many of our students and families, this has been their home for many years! 5th Graders will be dismissed out of door 10 (2nd Grade Dismissal door) on the middle blacktop where their parents will line up to clap them out. If you are not a 5th-grade parent, please give the courtesy to 5th-grade parents to clap their children outside that door. Cones will be set up where all the 5th-grade parents are invited to line up and give our children the memory they deserve.  After the clap-out, all other students will exit through their normal grade-level doors. Kindergarten dismissal will be at 12:00 pm with the rest of the school as they participate in the clap out for 5th graders.

    Please make sure all library books have been returned to the Media Center. Report Cards go live on Tuesday after school. 

    Upcoming Dates:

    June 23 - 12:00 Dismissal Day - Pizza/Game Day
    June 24 - 12:00 Dismissal Day - Clap Out

    Sincerely,
    Daniel Garcia

    Dear Harrison Families,

    Every week has been filled with activities, and I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the community members who volunteered, as well as to the teachers and staff who made these events special for our students. Your dedication of time and effort to make these events happen is truly appreciated!

    The Spring Picnic was a fun-filled family event, and I would like to express my gratitude to the PTA for organizing it. A huge thank you goes out to all our Harrison Mural volunteers! The beautiful display in our hallway would not have been possible without the countless hours contributed by our entire community coming together.

    Our Field Day was a tremendous success! Thank you to all the volunteers for providing a joyful day for our kids. A special thanks to Mr. Mattia, Ms. San Juan, and all the teachers who helped organize such a wonderful event!

    A message from the Media Center: All books are due back next week when they go to their Media class. Please help your children remember to return them by June 13th at the latest.
