Some people have P.E., library, or technology. Fifth we did social studies and talked about the early explorers. Sixth we went to lunch and had really good food to eat.  Me and my friends talked and every one else in our class talked too.

Dear Parents and Students,

Good afternoon. I wanted to take this opportunity to inform you of an incident that occurred on our campus this morning. We had a medical emergency on our campus this morning involving one of our students. As a result, the student needed to be transported to the hospital via helicopter. As a precautionary measure and to protect and ensure the safety of all students, staff, and parents on our campus we went into a code lock-in while the helicopter landed, loaded, and departed with the student. During a code lock-in instruction continues without interruption. The most pronounced difference is that no students are out of the classroom at any time without adult supervision, and in this case, no students or adults were allowed outside of the buildings. This decision was made in an effort to minimize impact to students and to ensure their safety.

Student and staff safety is our number one priority here at Harmon Elementary School. If you have questions or concerns, as always, please feel free to contact me directly here at school. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you and your children.

Sincerely

Chris Lineberry

Band, Orchestra, Choir

Information

Parents/Guardians,

This year, 5^th grade students will be introduced to the band, orchestra, and choir teachers in an assembly on Wednesday August 5^th during school. During that assembly, students will be given their options for their music class and shown instruments they may choose. More information on instruments and class choice will go home after that assembly.

For those students that need to rent instruments, the instrument rental night at Combs High School is August 11^th from 6-8:00 pm. Please mark your calendars!

Thank you!

The Music Faculty

Why can’t I skip my 20 minutes of reading tonight?

Let’s figure it out mathmatically:

Student A reads 20 minutes five nights of every week;
Student B reads only 4 minutes a night…or not at all!

Step 3: Multiply minutes a month x 9 months/school year
Student A reads 3600 min. in a school year.
Student B reads 720 min. in a school year.

Student A practices reading the equivalent of ten whole school days a year.
Student B gets the equivalent of only two school days of reading practice.

One would expect the gap of information retained will have widened considerably and so, undoubtedly, will school performance. How do you think student B will feel about him/herself as a student?

Some questions to ponder:

Which student would you expect to read better?

Which student would you expect to know more?

Which student would you expect to write better?

Which student would you expect to have a better vocabulary?

Which student would you expect to be more successful in school….and in life?

Which student are YOU?
