Read Across America

Our annual reading challenge begins Friday, Feb. 28 and runs through March 26. The goal is to build a love for reading inspired by Dr. Seuss. If all students and adults participate, we will read 122,800 minutes in 20 days (307 x 20 min. x 20 days). The class that reads every day for 20 days will earn prizes for recess and bragging rights.  

Friday Feb. 28  -  Hooray for Diffendoofer Day! Wear our school colors.

Monday, March 2 - "Cat in the Hat" Let's celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday and wear red, white, and black!

Tuesday, March 3 - "Green Eggs and Ham" Wear green!

Wednesday, March 4 - "Fox in Socks" Wear crazy socks!

Thursday, March 5 - "The Butter Battle Book"  Spread good cheer by sharing an encouraging word with others.

Young at Heart! 

A huge thank you to the Young at Heart band for bringing some Big Band sounds and swing dancing fun to Harrison Elementary. Students learned about different instruments and the elements of swing to the tunes of jazzy hits from the past. Thanks to every member for bringing this beautiful music to our students.
