HP Community,
As a reminder, school is closed next for Winter Recess!
Yesterday, the 8th graders hosted the annual Have-A-Heart event to raise money for the AHA - American Heart Association. Thank you to all of the students and parents who came out to join us and support our Project Pride efforts. After three staff vs. 8th grade games of Volleyball, the victorious winners were the teachers. The event raised a whopping $1,732!! Thank you, HP.

Across grade levels, we continue to honor and celebrate Black History Month through a variety of lessons and projects. Below is a snapshot of some work to date and some posts have been shared on our IG story.
-Read-Alouds and individual biography research projects on notable Black Americans
-Continued lessons on Diversity and Tolerance from our guidance counselors
-Specialists have been highlighting artists, musicians, inventors and athletes regarding their contribution to those areas and their impact as Americans
Our 100th Day of School Food Drive was a huge success, thank you HP!
The Kind Kids Club is thrilled to announce that The JAR Project Pajama Dive was a huge success. The Kind Kids Club helped to package over 220 sets of pajamas, get well cards and little teddy bears this week. The packages were dropped off to the hospital and will be distributed to the kids on Valentine's Day. Thank you to The Harrington Park Community for your donations and support!
