🐉 Great things are going on at HMS! Students in Mrs. Wheeler's class came back today from the break strong by making a commitment to the social contracts they had made in class at the beginning of the year. These social contracts are student created and are a way for students to take ownership in their classes. It is a commitment to hard work, respectful behavior, and acting in a way that creates a great classroom environment!
🐉💚🏆 Congratulations to our 60 Harlan Elementary students who had perfect attendance for the 2nd quarter!
