Harlan Independent Schools

🐣 What an exciting experience in Mr. Noe’s class at HES! Students had the amazing opportunity to watch baby chicks hatch right before their eyes as part of their chick project. From learning about the life cycle to seeing it happen in real time, it was a moment they won’t forget! Hands-on learning at its best! 💛

Our 3rd grade students stepped up as leaders in Mrs.Burkharts class and helped kindergarten students learn how to play Beat Detective. There were lots of smiles, teamwork, and excitement as everyone learned together!🎉 We love seeing our students lead, encourage, and make learning fun! ❤️

Huge congratulations to the Harlan Lady Dragons on their impressive 14-2 victory over Lynn Camp! Great teamwork, big plays, and a strong performance all around. Way to represent, ladies! Go Lady Dragons! 💚🥎

Friday wrapped things up with Sensory-Friendly Friday, and everyone stayed cozy in their comfiest clothes and pajamas! We loved seeing our students embrace kindness, inclusion, and individuality all week long! 💙
