Harrington Happenings

I hope everyone had a nice weekend. As we welcome the month of June, it's hard to believe how quickly the school year has flown by. With just a few short weeks remaining, June is always a special time in our school. It’s a month filled with celebrations, transitions, and reflections. Whether your child is moving on to the next grade this is a moment to honor their hard work and growth. We are so proud of all they have accomplished. A few important reminders:

End-of-Year Events:

• Field Day, June 5th
• Final HPTO Meeting, June 4
• CHS Seniors (Harrington Alumni) parade, June 6
• 4th Grade Party, June 11
• Last Day of School:Students, June 17th (Half Day), Staff June 18th.

Thank you for the trust you've placed in us. As always, thank you for your continued support and partnership. Let’s keep working together to make Harrington a place where every student can thrive.

Once again, remember to…"Stay Respectful, Stay Responsible, Stay Ready... Embrace the challenges, learn from mistakes, and have fun"

Be safe! Stay well!
