It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!
The BEST Fund-Raiser Ever...
So, we get a night off from cooking, we drive through Wendy's, we hand them our little flyer associating us with Harrison, and huge proceeds come back to our students and staff at school! Last time, the amazing manager at Wendy's even used other customer's receipts to help boost our sales. How awesome. So, plan to get your Baconator on at the end of November to help raise easy funds for our kiddos! Thank you!

LEXIA and DREAMBOX
If you see your child struggling with letter recognition, letter sounds, sight words, LEXIA will help boost their skills QUICKLY. The program is fantastic and really does help students learn to read. Dreambox too, will take your child where they're at, and move them along at their own pace as they explore numbers, math, problem solving, etc! I can't express enough how just 15 min. a night on one or the other, at home, could help boost your child's knowledge and therefore, confidence. :-) Thank you!
