We end October by taking a moment to reflect on Breast Cancer Awareness Month and to recognize those in our community who have faced this challenge. This month, schools throughout the district organized a variety of awareness activities, including workshops and walk-a-thons, with each school hosting its own PINK-themed event. To wrap up the month, Brooks Middle School held a workshop with speakers from Family Christian Health Center and some of our own survivors.

Whittier School worked to create a beautiful, hallway-lined theme for the occasion and provided parents with an informative seminar on the subject.

Harvey Central Office Team also showed their support-- "We honor our fighters and encourage the fight!"

It's Fire Safety Week at Harvey 152, and the Harvey Fire Department was on hand to teach the students the importance of fire safety and prevention. Students were ready to answer "hot" questions and demonstrate the art of "stop, drop, and roll!" Thank you, HFD, for bringing the "FIRE POWER" to Harvey152!

While students head home early, our teachers dive into professional learning, exploring new strategies and technologies to boost student success. Behind the scenes, our coordinators play a vital role. Last week, Mrs. Simcha Dixon (Math) and Ms. Christina Montgomery (Literacy) partnered with teachers to review i-Ready scores, set growth goals, and design strategies for achievement.

So next time there’s an early dismissal, remember: while students are away, teachers are working hard to pave the way for success. To learn more about I-Ready and student growth, check out our assessments link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OjTtBrHHP3Oz88kL9HP65ydTtNv5MIQ0qA3ZmB8oyrQ/edit?tab=t.0
