Congratulations are in order!

We wand to share a huge accomplishment for a group of seniors who after a year of online training and modules, practice tests, etc. passed their final exam, and are now CERTIFIED MEDICAL ASSISTANTS! While Mrs. Clark has been there as a guide throughout the process, they were responsible for completing the training and studying, each putting a ton of time outside of school hours working on this.

HSA PF CRLP volunteered at the food bank

Harmony high school CRLP (College Readiness Leadership Program) students volunteered to help prepare food boxes at the Texas Food Bank warehouse on a field trip. They went behind the scenes to assist with inspecting, sorting, and preparing items for distribution. It was a first-time experience for the students to participate in such a significant community event. They earned their volunteer hours by helping in the preparation of 225 food boxes to be distributed that day. Texas Food Bank is always looking for more volunteers (minors with chaperones) to help more individuals in need at their many locations as well as donations. Their volunteer opportunities are always available on their website.

Blood Drive

We have an amazing middle-school student who is hosting a blood drive at Harmony School of Endeavor - Austin in partnership with HosA on May 18, 8 am - 1 pm. If you are able to support his efforts by donating, please register here: https://weareblood.org/donor/schedule/?location=61359&date=05/18/2022&reschedule=
