Harlan Families,

It is hard to believe that Summer break is here! Yesterday, we were able to celebrate our 5th graders as they were promoted to the 6th grade! It was a great event followed by a whole school clap out.

As always, I am extremely appreciative of our school community for all of the support you have provided this year for the students and staff. Harlan is a wonderful community due to the dedication of our families, staff, and students to making it a great place.

This morning, I reminded the kids that their Harlan Habits of respect, responsibility and kindness should stop just because school is out for the summer. Rather, they should stay focused on them especially during the summer time when it is a bit less structured.

I hope that you all have an enjoyable summer and I look forward to seeing you all again in the fall!

Best of luck to our new 6th graders!

Be well,

Alex
