Harlan Independent Schools

In collaboration with Mrs. Ledford from PRI, Ms. Wilson’s Health & PE classes for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades had visitors from Pine Mountain Settlement School. Jenn Noble and Roy Hawthorne discussed our Appalachian heritage, culture, and environment with each class. They also brought some Appalachian items, including a quilt, 100 year old skirt, baskets, and homemade wooden toys. The highlight of the visit was the games and dances they shared with the students that were centered around our Appalachian culture. They included Cow Hunt, Patty Cake Pokey, Sally Down the Alley, Kitty Want a Corner, and Blind Man’s Backyard. The students participated so well and had so much fun. For more information about the activities they have at Pine Mountain Settlement School, you can visit their Facebook page or their website: https://www.pinemountainsettlementschool.com/.

Congratulations to Harlan students Camille Noe (7th grade) and Chloe Schwenke (12th grade) on their selection for the statewide FRYSCKy Legislative Page Day program! Camille and Chloe traveled to Frankfort where they toured the capitol, met legislators, and served as pages in the Senate Chambers for a legislative session. This program gives students an up-close look at state government and the legislative process. We are proud of Camille and Chloe for representing Harlan Independent!
