Our annual Father-Daughter Dance at Harlan Elementary was a magical night filled with dancing, laughter, and memories to last a lifetime. The gym sparkled with lights, and the smiles on both dads and daughters were priceless. A huge thank you to our PTO, volunteers, and staff for coordinating every detail—from the check-in and decor, to the DJ. One dad put it best: this night creates memories families will treasure for years. We can’t wait to do it again next year!

🌏AP World History in action! 🌏

Huge shoutout to Mrs. Freyer’s AP World History students for the incredible work they put into their recent mock trial!

The class was split into prosecution and defense as they put Genghis Khan and the Mongols on trial. Students dove deep into historical research, collaborated as legal teams, built arguments, and planned their strategies, all with one goal in mind: to win the case.

After presenting their arguments to a jury made up of last year’s AP World History students, the verdict was in… Genghis Khan and the Mongols were found guilty, and the prosecution walked away with the win! ⚖️🎉

This was a powerful example of critical thinking, teamwork, public speaking, and historical analysis at its best. Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it. Well done, Dragons! 🐉
