Endeavor Students
We're gonna miss Mrs. Hydi Phelps. She's been an awesome Principal at Harvest for the past 2 years. We wish her well at Meridianville Middle School!
In the photo, Mrs. Phelps & Mrs. Ryans were at our Attendance Dance celebrating students with perfect attendance.
‎Shout Out to our Amazing Computer Technology Assistants: Renee Reed and Sheila Landman.
They've got brains in their heads,
They've got feet in their shoes,
They can steer the Chromebook carts any direction towards you.
Thanks Mrs. Reed and Mrs. Landman for all you do. CBAs would not be the same without you! They wear many hats, and they do it well. Mrs. Landman manages our iPads through Filewave. Mrs. Reed leads technology inventory. They both assist with Technology Work orders, too.
Mrs. Gokee’s 5th graders were engaged with their PLTW Robots & Automation Project.
