Harrison Elementary School

First grade visited Lakes & Streams last week. They had so much fun! #ExperienceWCS #WCSmission

Thank you Martins for delivering candy! (: #ExperienceWCS #WCSmission

Thank you so much to the Warsaw Education Foundation for the grant they provided for our 6th graders to have ukuleles! We've been having a great time in music class learning about the ukulele and playing our first chords. We really appreciate the opportunity to be able to have these for years to come! #ExperienceWCS #WCSmission #Leadership

In the month of January we learned about Habit 5: seek first to understand, then to be understood. We also focused on goal setting & having accountability partners. Last Friday we had our second family group meeting. During this time, 6th grade students & teachers discussed goal-setting. Afterward, everyone played passing the ball to practice setting goals. We ended family groups with a valentine's activity. As a school, everyone came up with one thing they loved about Harrison. Miss. Murphy, with the help of all the huskies at Harrison, made a beautiful mural outside the art room. #Leadership #WCSmission #ExperienceWCS

Our ELL huskies published a book! Every student researched an animal and wrote about what makes it unique and special. "In addition to learning writing skills, lessons in teamwork and collaboration were gained as they worked together to plan the book from start to the finished product"-Mrs. Howard Students named the book "If I Could Be an Animal." They decided to dedicate this book to Mr.Deeds. He was invited as a special guest and read the book to the students. We are so proud of our ELL huskies and Mrs. Howard for this amazing learning opportunity! #ExperienceWCS #WCSmission #leadership

Our 3rd graders traveled to the Shrine Circus on Friday. They had a blast! #ExperienceWCS #WCSmission

Student Council members voted in December to purchase new recess equipment for each grade level. We surveyed staff to see what items were most requested and then purchased and delivered them today! Thank you so much Student Council for your leadership & for thinking about everyone at Harrison. #ExperienceWCS #WCSmission #leadership

Another successful Christmas sing at Harrison! We look forward to our Christmas sing all year. Teachers and students perform, we have skits, sing Christmas music, play minute-to-win games, and Santa even stopped by! Happy holidays from your Husky family! #WCSmission #ExperienceWCS

Kindergarten students at Harrison invited their families in gingerbread house building, a husky tradition! #ExperienceWCS #WCSmission

We had our cheer Christmas party today! The girls decorated Christmas cookies, got recognized for their hard work, and ate pizza! Thank you so much, @pizzahut, for donating pizza for our cheerleaders! Good job this season, girls! #WCSmission #ExperienceWCS

First graders had the school to themselves. They embarked on a scavenger hunt that took them from first grade to 6th grade, where they will end their Harrison school career. They had so much fun exploring the school.  #ExperienceWCS #WCSmission

This week we had our 2nd annual Harrison Holiday Shop in the Library! It gave all of our students a chance to come in and shop for their families and friends. It filled my heart to see our students put so much thought into their gifts they were purchasing for others! -Mrs. Conley Huge shout out to Mrs. Conley for all her hard work with the Holiday Shop! It was a huge success & we are so lucky to have her at Harrison. #ExperienceWCS #WCSmission

Last Friday, we had our first family group meeting. During this time, students are in different classrooms, ranging from K–6th grade. 6th graders and teachers are co-teaching. This month we focused on habit 4: "think win-win". We practiced our 7 habits hand motions, stated our mission statement, & shared experiences with think-win-win, and voted on different scenarios to see if they were think-win-win. Afterwards, all students traced their hands and cut them out to make a huge hand Christmas tree with all our students at Harrison to remind ourselves that we are all a team and we are all leaders. We can't wait to meet with our family groups next month! #WCSmission #ExperienceWCS #leadership

Harrison’s Chess Club is off to a great start! Students in grades kindergarten through sixth have the opportunity to meet together once a week for Chess Club.  Each week there is a short lesson and then students pair up and play chess together!   #ExperienceWCS #WCSmission

On Monday, we had our senior night for our 6th grade boys/ girls basketball and cheerleaders. We are so proud of all our cheerleaders and basketball players this season! We started off the game by announcing all our 6th graders, and each of them received a gift. We can't wait to see all the amazing things they all achieve in middle school. 💜💛 #ExperienceWCS #WCSmission

Huge shoutout to our Harrison boys basketball players who were announced at the variety boys game over the weekend. The boys had a team dinner prior. Thank you to Harrison's toger ambassador from 1Eighty Digital, who sponsored the boys Pizza Hut meal. Great job, boys! #Experiencewcs #WCSmission

“Lucy gives us love!” Roxy Lopez Lucy, Harrison’s therapy dog, is a goldendoodle that was made for giving love. You can usually find her stretched out waiting for belly rubs (or looking for a treat). Lucy makes her rounds through Harrison bringing joy to both staff and students. #ExperienceWCS #WCSmission
