I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend and enjoying the warm weather that is starting to make its way back this week! I am so proud of the students at Harrison Elementary. This week, during our Harrison Hawk Happenings broadcast, we highlighted the work of the student council’s save the rainforest project, our first grade Seeds of Kindness project, and the creation of Rube Goldberg machines by our 3rd graders. The broadcast highlighting these projects can be seen on our website. Please enjoy!

As a reminder this week, April 26th-April 30th are parent-teacher conferences. There will be no small group work instruction to make room for all the conferences with our families. 

Material pick-up for our remote students is scheduled for May 6th and 7th. Our teachers will communicate information with you detailing the pick up of any materials that you may need. You can pick it up on either day listed above.

Some exciting dates on the horizon at Harrison School…

• May 18th is Multicultural Night (Rain Date- May 26)- Grade level specific time slots
• May 27th is Field Day
• Various PTA  fundraisers, events, and meetings. See weekly post tomorrow. 

As the weather is getting warmer, I know many parents are walking to the property to pick up their children and that is very much appreciated. It is important to note that dogs can’t be on school property, especially during dismissal for the safety of everyone. 

It has been very exciting to finalize the plans for our return to a full day of school starting on May 10th. I will send a more comprehensive update detailing information about lunch, recess, cold lunch options, and arrival/dismissal soon. 

There are many fundraising opportunities on the horizon for our PTA including Krispy Kreme donut sales and our flower and garden plant sale. Please consider supporting these fundraisers to support our Harrison School community. 

Sincerely,

Mr. Daniel Garcia
