Today is an A Day

Happy Birthday today to: Ms.Osborne

🎪 Step right up, Harper Creek! The Greatest Show is almost here! ðŸŽª

Join us tonight at 7:00 PM in the Middle School Auditorium for an evening of incredible student talent, laughs, and a few special staff surprises! Our students have been working hard for the past month to put together a show you won't want to miss.

Tickets are $7 per person and $5 for students.

Come cheer them on, enjoy the fun, and help us make it a night to remember!

We hope to see you there! ðŸŽ­

🎸 HEY, HARPER CREEK! GET READY TO ROCK! ðŸŽ¸

On Wednesday, November 18th, we're bringing STR8TALK to Harper Creek Middle School!

This high-energy, concert-style presentation combines live music, videos, and a powerful real-life story to take students on a journey through addiction, recovery, and the importance of making healthy choices.

This isn't your typical assembly! STR8TALK delivers an important message about drugs and alcohol, the impact our choices have on ourselves and others, and the power of believing in yourself.

🤘 SHOWTIMES – IN THE AUDITORIUM

  • 7th & 8th Grade: 10:00–11:15 AM

  • 5th & 6th Grade: 12:00–1:15 PM

Bring an open mind, bring your energy, and get ready for a powerful message that could make a lasting difference!

TURN UP THE VOLUME. TAKE IN THE MESSAGE. MAKE YOUR LIFE COUNT! ðŸŽ¤

Today, we're celebrating GENEROSITY & SERVICE! Kindness isn't just about what we say; it's also about what we DO. Giving our time, sharing our talents, lending a helping hand, and looking for ways to make life a little easier for others are all ways to show kindness.

You don't have to do something extraordinary to make a difference. Sometimes the smallest acts of service have the biggest impact.

These students and staff members remind us that giving our time, helping others, and making a difference in our school and community are some of the greatest ways to show kindness.

Let's give a big Harper Creek shout-out to:

  • Students: Lucas Davis, Gia Do, Paisley Kammerud, Faith Green, Frankie Phaff, Finn Newburn

  • Staff: Mr. O’Farrell, Mrs. Lindsey, Ms. Ferrell, Mrs. Pacillo and Ms. Roberts

Thank you for giving back and making Harper Creek a better place!

Today's Kindness Challenge: Find one way to help someone today without being asked. Give your time, share what you have, or lend a helping hand. Make someone's day a little easier!

As we wrap up Kindness Week, remember that kindness doesn't end on Friday! The themes we've focused on this week—empathy, inclusion, friendliness, and generosity—are things we can practice every single day.

FACE OFF FRIDAY!

We are looking for the 7th caller on Ms. Chapman’s line (4770) to identify the artist and title of the following song…
