Harlan Independent Schools

Students in Mrs. Luttrell's English II classes recently visited the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center in Cincinnati, OH. Sponsored by HHS GEAR-UP, the trip began by visiting Northern Kentucky University. Mrs. Luttrell's students have been studying Man's Inhumanity to Man through learning about the events and causes that led to the Holocaust. Visiting the museum allowed the students to experience stories of "courage, perseverance, loss, redemption...told by Holocaust survivors." Students explored characteristic strengths needed to become upstanders to injustice. Visiting the museum humanizes the horrific event of the Holocaust for students, and they will now be able to make connections to the events and atrocities of the Holocaust when reading Nobel prize winner Eli Wiesel's memoir Night.

This past week, the SKMA All-Festival Choir Festival was held in Corbin, KY. Congratulations to Ethan Farley, Jacob Baker, and Connor Witt.

The guest conductor was Daniel Wesley. Mr. Wesley is the Director of Choirs at Lexington Christian Academy and the Artistic Director of the acclaimed Lexington Singers Children’’s Choir. This is Ms. Schraeder’s 51st year accompanying the SATB choir! 🎶🎶🐉

A kaleidoscope of color and imagination filled the sky as Harlan Elementary students lined the streets to walk in our annual Balloons Over Harlan parade. Students read Melissa Sweet’s book, “Balloons over Broadway” and worked hard to complete STEM projects in their classrooms. Each class created a thematic balloon based on specific book characters from their favorite stories. Students walked to display their balloons for family and friends. It was a great day!! 🎈🎈
