We will be starting the before and after school program with our 21st Century grant on Monday. Jenny has been working hard to get everything set up. Please check in with Jenny if you have students you would like in the before or after school program. Students will be starting in the lunchroom at 3:30, for snack and to complete homework.

Thursday around 5:45 a group of college students, one high school student, from Boys and Girls Club visited Harrison and learned about their part in the after school program. They are an awesome group and so excited to start on Monday! I gave each of them a copy of the 7 habits, and this article reiterates the importance of the Leader in Me program.

Transforming Schools 

Please encourage students to apply for the school wide leadership jobs. The job application forms are on the bulletin board by the front office.

One job is for library leaders, to assist with checking out books. All of our students preschool-fifth grade have the opportunity to check out a library book, read it at home with their family, and then return it the next day for a new book. Agnes has the library cards sorted by classes, and the goal is for students to be leaders in finding their cards as they quickly check out new books. Here are two first graders learning the new system, and they were so excited to get a new book:

PTA meeting is at 11:40 in the library. There was a phone call out to help remind families, and we provide a free school lunch for parents if they attend.

Have a great Friday!
