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.”

We look forward to welcoming our students and staff back to school! Classes resume on Monday, Jan. 9. Here’s to a successful 2023!

Happy Holidays from our District 152 family to yours! We’re wishing you a wonderful holiday season and peaceful new year.
