Save your Oleson's and D&W Receipts!

Starting in the month of April, we will be doing a RECEIPT DRIVE to help Mrs. Kruger's class put on an amazing Mother's Day feast for the moms and grandmas of 5th and 6th grade students. If you shop at Oleson's or D&W, save them over break and bring them in when we return! There will be a box at the Welcome Desk and one at Mrs. Beckman's Desk. It doesn't cost you any extra, but it will help Mrs. Kruger out a lot!!


Make sure not to cut off the portion at the bottom that shows how many points your purchase earned.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SPRING CONCERT

Greetings Harbor Light Family!


I wish you all a safe and restful spring break! Looking ahead, I understand that time is going to evaporate when we return to school! I would like to send links for songs that will be performed at the Spring Concert in order that students may practice the songs over Spring Break and afterwards during opportune moments... like when driving to and from vacation, driving to and from school, during break times at home in the afternoon and evening, etc. This extra practice really helps with their confidence when the time to perform comes, and I appreciate your time and attention supporting your kids in this event!
