👩🔬Does your daughter/granddaughter like science or is interested in exploring STEM topics? Amy, Salena, and Rihanna, three HHS students, would like to invite your daughter/granddaughter (elementary or middle school age) to a STEM Workshop next Tuesday night at 4:30 in the downstairs area at the Harlan Public Library. If you have any questions, please contact one of these three young ladies.


Lily and Jocelyn- kindergarten students in Miss Kat’s class- showed students what to do when using the “Conflict Corner.” This area has been set aside for students who may be having a bad day and need a first to help them cheer up or in the event two friends disagree. This area encourages students to take the initiative themselves to solve problems.❤️🐉


Good luck to our 3rd and 4th grade football team as they take on Knox County this evening at home! The game starts at 6:30 pm. Come out and support our Green Dragons! 🐉🏈🏈🐉
