Summer vacation is ending this week for students, and staff are returning. Hopefully everybody had a restful and fun summer. It always seems to go by so quickly. We have new staff joining our Harrison family. Please introduce yourself and help them feel welcomed. That is never a problem. We have such a great staff.

A big excitement this summer was the installation of our new playground. Students have already been using it. A big thank you to everybody who helped encourage students over the last few years as we completed several fundraisers, and a big thank you to those who braved the heat to help install the playground. Here are several great pictures, a long list of people and businesses who donated and assisted, and the KMVT post:

New Playground


Please remember to get your picture taken for the new staff badges.

Teachers, please double check the schedule to remember when you signed up to have Ms. Kober and I come read books to your students. One of my favorite activities is visiting and reading books to every classroom at the start of the new school year.

The before school programs starts on the first day of school, and the after school program starts in a few weeks.
