Harlan Independent Schools

🎨 Students at Harlan Middle School had an awesome week! Grades 6 - 8 participated in the ArtReach program. ArtReach is a local community outreach program which provides a full day of arts and crafts instruction to students in surrounding schools. The program offers workshops in a range of media such as wood, clay, sculpture, needlecraft, basketry, weaving, leather, and many others that have a significant history in Appalachia. Even the teachers had a blast on this field trip!! Huge thanks to ArtReach for traveling to Harlan and for all the people in our district who made this possible for our students!! 🐉 Be sure to check out our HISD Facebook page for MANY more pictures!!

☕️☕️☕️ Coffee Cart!!! Students in Mrs Middleton’s life skills class started a coffee cart business where they sell coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and snack cakes to staff. This business allows students to learn and practice important skills, such as greeting customers, taking and filling orders, and understanding the value of money.

The students of HES recently participated in FRYSC's "February Family Time" challenge. Throughout February, students spent time reading with their families. They picked ten dates on their calendars to read with their families for at least ten minutes. Additionally, they recorded three times when their family ate together without electronic devices. We cherish and value such special time spent with families, and we are proud of the efforts made by our students. Congratulations, Dragons! 🐉
