A New School Focus
Harold Hatcher School has a new school-wide focus: KINDNESS. We are using this theme to help students to understand the power of kindness. We had a kick-off assembly and some lucky students shared this new theme!
A special thank you to Ms. Pearson for the photos!

Remembrance Day Assembly
I am always amazed how well our students are able to understand the idea of Remembrance Day. This year, our students sang, played instruments and wrote pieces that truly touched my heart. Our class had two students share their poetry. It was amazing.
