🇺🇸 Ms. Maggard's 9th-grade Civics classes recently embarked on an enrichment trip to downtown Harlan with the help and leadership of our GEAR Up team!
As part of their educational journey, our students had the incredible opportunity to visit our local courthouse and gain firsthand knowledge about the roles and responsibilities of the elected and appointed offices in Harlan County.
By witnessing our courthouse's inner workings, they could better comprehend the importance and significance of the various positions that shape our community!







🦃🦃🦃 The cafeteria will be serving a Thanksgiving meal today!


🐉 On Tuesday night, Harlan High School inducted their newest members into the BETA Club. The Beta Club's purpose is to promote the ideals of academic achievement, character, service, and leadership. Congratulations, Green Dragons. #betaclub



It’s a Great Pumpkin Patch at Harlan Elementary!!!
The Save The Children –Literacy and Math Program had an exciting adventure with their Kindergarten through 4th grade students. Kindergarten and First-Grade students were introduced to Fancy Nancy and went on an “extraordinaire” adventure! Students dressed “fancy,” along with making delectable “fancy” donuts. They used “fancy” words at the donut buffet bar, and followed a simple “fancy” donut recipe. Second through Fourth Grade students were introduced to “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.” Students were served Charlie Brown Waffles, topped with delicious toppings. They helped measure dry and wet waffle ingredients to make waffle batter. Students also went on a scavenger hunt in search of the Great Pumpkin Patch, where they each took a pumpkin home.

Be sure to tell them which grade to record the donation!

Mr. Owens's health classes are studying the physical activity and nutrition unit. They previously learned about the F.I.T.T. Principle and its 5 main components: muscular endurance, muscular strength, cardiorespiratory endurance, flexibility, and body composition. They also reviewed how to make a workout/activity program. In the photos below, the students made their own workouts; they made the workouts in their group assignments of 3-5 kids. The learning goal of this lesson was to ensure that students have the skills to create and perform a program that will benefit their health. #healthyforlife
