Harlan Elementary School‘s Cancer Walk is a fundraiser for the National Cancer Society. Students donated $1 to walk through town to raise awareness and show our support in the fight against cancer. Thank you to our Dragon families for supporting a wonderful cause. 💕🐉#fightlikeadragon





Mrs. Howard’s Kindergarten class is preparing for the Harlan Elementary School Cancer Walk! 💕





Students in Ms. Wilson’s Health & PE classes had a visit from Heather Saylor, an RN at Harlan ARH. Her presentation was called Brain Protectors and focuses on stroke signs and symptoms. Students learned B.E.F.A.S.T. to evaluate whether a person could be having a stroke or not. The presentation was very informative and engaging for the students. Each student received a certificate stating they became a “Certified Brain Protector” at the conclusion of the lesson.

Harlan Elementary School recently held the first Fitness Fair for the school year. Students in Ms. Wilson’s Health & PE classes participated over two days of fitness. On Day 1, students moved through fitness stations - BMI & Body Fat %, Grip Strength, Sit & Reach, Sit-Ups, and Bear Crawl. On Day 2, students attempted to walk a mile (30 laps) around the gym and also had a lesson on the sugar and fat content in foods, portion sizes, and healthy vs. unhealthy foods. The HES Fitness Fair was held in collaboration with the 4H Extension Office and Harlan ARH. Several other staff members also volunteered their time to help make the Fitness Fair a success. It was definitely a team effort from all students, teachers, and volunteers! ✨

Library Rotation students are beginning a unit on Art, discussing different artists such as Jackson Pollock and Vincent Van Gogh. 1st-3rd grade groups created their own version of Three Sunflowers in a Vase, while 4th graders read through passages about Van Gogh and found the main idea. Be on the lookout for an outstanding project at the end of this unit by these amazing students! 🎨🖼

Students in Ms. Wilson’s Health & PE classes participated in teeth brushing lessons. Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Billie from FRYSC joined our classes to discuss why we need to take care of our teeth. They also talked about foods that are good and bad for our teeth. Ms. Billie demonstrated the proper way to brush and care for our teeth. The 2nd grade students also had a visit from a local dentist, Dr. Nunez and his wife Brandee. They talked about the way to properly care for our teeth and answered many questions from an excited group of students. All students enjoyed their lesson on taking care of their teeth! 😁🦷🪥
