Our very own Eileen Ward was featured on the Thorn Creek Audubon Society website! Ms. Ward is an art teacher at Bryant Elementary and Maya Angelou Elementary Schools. Kindergarten and first grade students learned about owls through an amazing owl art project using special paper tearing and paper cutting techniques. Read more! http://bit.ly/3D5217z

Before winter break, UChicago Ingalls Memorial Hospital donated a $6,000 gift for the holiday season to our students and families. Several Harvey School District 152 families received a $250 gift card. Thank you to Ms. Donnella Bradford, Director of Community Affairs and Volunteer Services, for presenting the check to Dr. Barbara Mason, Dr. Eric Trimberger and Dr. Margaret Longo!

As a reminder, students have an early release day tomorrow for a school improvement day. Students will be released at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 25.

In observance of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday, Harvey School District 152 will be closed on Monday, Jan. 16. As Dr. King said, “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.”

Recently, district staff members participated in a three-day Crisis Prevention Institute training. They learned new skills to build an effective culture of safety within our schools. Thank you for your dedication to our students! Pictured (l-r): Mark Salesbury, CPI staff; Principal Mahorney, Angelou Elementary; Ms. Gregory, social worker and Principal Anderson, Bryant Elementary
