We the People of the United States... On September 17th, we celebrated Constitution Day! Senior National Honor Society members presented to the JK-3rd grade classes and 4th-6th grade classes along with a final presentation for the Junior High and High School students! The students received a review of what the Constitution is and what it does, followed by a fun and competitive Kahoot game that tested their knowledge!

❤️We LOVE seeing volunteers in action!❤️ Big thank you to these boys for helping out at the Senior Center on Tuesday! The boys moved old tables out and new tables in together as a team! Good work, boys!

Have you ever wondered what our Title I Program is or what is supports? Then please join us Thursday, September 24th, from 6-7 P.M. for an informational meeting about our Title I Program!

Parents will meet in the Pirates Cove (near the library) while students are playing supervised games in the gym!

We look forward to seeing you all there!

Over the past couple weeks, a few National Honor Society students helped move a sweatshirt around the school for JK-12th grade to sign along with the staff. What started as a white sweatshirt is now a sweatshirt full of names from the Highmore-Harrold School that signifies the strength that everyone held this summer. This summer was a tough one; but together WE ARE STRONGER THAN THE STORM!!
