Family Virtual Field Day-Harris
Music & Art Night
During this last year, we have spent a lot of time indoors. Mrs. Chipman and I have decided to collaborate this year to bring you an art and music theme that we have all been thinking about, the outdoors. Our program, "Playing Through the Parks!" is a wonderful experience and a great virtual trip through the National Parks. Please enjoy our kindergarteners through fourth graders as they take you to the great outdoors! Thank you for supporting the arts at Harris Elementary School!
Respectfully,
Mrs. Chipman and Ms. Robedeau
IMPORTANT: 5TH GRADE MUSIC SIGN-UP
Hello 4th Grade!
My name is Jillene Guzman and I am the strings teacher at Harris Elementary. I am hoping that I can have you and your child sign up for your music class for next year. It is important that we have everyone sign up because we need to know how many instruments that we will need to prepare for as well as we need to know where to send your child on the first week of school for music specials.
Please help us out by signing up your child for either band, strings, or general music for their 5th-grade year. It should only take 3 minutes the most. Please click on the link below to sign up.
