We have been paying very close to the weather forecast for tomorrow. After looking at a variety of forecasts, the weather will be too cold to safely allow children to wait at our bus stops. Therefore, Harrison Community Schools will be closed on Tuesday, January 21.
FYI - if you need a place to stay warm this week.

REMINDER: Friday, January 17th, is a half day of school for students.
Larson students will be released at 11:40 a.m.
Middle School, High School and Hive students will be released at 11:30 a.m.
If your students ride the bus home from school, please plan on them arriving approximately 3 hours and 20 minutes earlier then they are normally dropped off on a regular school day. Afternoon CTE is still in session and transportation will be provided to and from the High School but will need transportation home.
Our last set of honorees: Bill Cooper (Hive), Mary Oakley (HS), Alissa Fabian (Larson), and Shane Suiter (HS).

In December, we asked our staff to nominate colleagues they believe exemplified our Guiding Belief of Respect ("We believe in an inclusive and respectful learning environment for all, and we value the diverse background of each individual."). Here is our first set of honorees - more will be posted throughout the week: Allison Holley (Larson), Wendy Cooper (Larson), Dan Seefeld (Larson), Jennifer Slack (Larson), Michael Long (Larson), Joe Ashcroft (HS), Shellie Tessner (MS/HS), Kasie Cooper (HS), Nick Halm (MS), and Jodi VanPelt (HS).

Here's today's issue of "All the Buzz": https://secure.smore.com/n/7zfm8
Yesterday, third graders in Mrs. Seefeld's and Mrs. Watrous's classes held a fancy lunch at the "Holiday Resort." Guests that joined them included Mrs. Andera, Mrs. Hargraves, Mr. McMillan, and Ms. Walton.
It's a big day in Harrison Community Schools! Teresa Dancer-Humphres (HS) and Michael Long (Larson) were recognized by the VFW as Teachers of the Year. In addition, Eli Wing and Storm Gallagher were recognized for placing 2nd and 3rd place, respectively, in the Voice of Democracy competition. #HornetPride
Please join us for our Annual Holiday Community Dinner! Monday, December 23rd from 3-6 PM. Please call any of our school offices to RSVP.
Due to fog and road conditions, Harrison Community Schools will be closed today, Monday, December 16th.
Due to the weather, we are in the unfortunate position of being compelled to cancel today's performance of "The Diary of Anne Frank." Check the HS Facebook page for info on a tentative reschedule date.
When living history comes to your school, you hang on every word. Today, our MS and HS students had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear the testimony of Irene Miller. Mrs. Miller is a Holocaust survivor, and the only known survivor in Michigan who is still living. She shared her story of fleeing Warsaw, Poland as a young child, away from the Nazis, and later surviving under the brutality of the Stalin regime through the end of WWII in 1945. Immigrating first to Israel and then to the U.S., Mrs. Miller's words of persevering through hunger, cold, violence, disease, and anti-Semitism were inspiring, to say the least. She called on all of us to be upstanders against any injustice, large or small, and to be vigilant against all threats to our freedoms and our Constitution.
