Message from Mrs. Harp // Mensaje de la Sra. Harp
Penngrove Community,
I have been working with a coach and one of our tasks has been putting my vision for Penngrove and for myself as a leader into words. I wanted to share with you so you could get to know me a bit more.
My vision as an educational leader:
I lead from a place of authenticity and integrity. I went into this profession because I believe deeply in the role of public education to be the most important and effective catalyst for change. Our job as educators is to provide a supportive environment in which we can help nurture our students to become contributing members of a progressive, forward thinking society. My role as a leader of educators is to foster an environment in which staff feel empowered and safe to grow, students feel safe and supported, and parents know we care.
When I think of what I want our school to be, the words which come to mind are smooth and light. We’d see students, staff and families smiling, talking and reflecting. We’d hear kind, supportive words, in which every member of our community knows they are valued, needed, heard and respected. Upon entering our campus we’d feel calm and confident in our ability to come together to problem solve and utilize each of our strengths collectively for success. So much of this is already in place and is inherent in this community. I believe deeply that our staff, families and students have the passion to continue developing this vision, and have a vital role in getting there.
Our school staff, in partnership with families, have the knowledge and agency to help forge the path to get us to a place of “smooth and light,” and I am beyond grateful to get to take this journey with you.
Carley Harp

Reading Kit Request
We're so excited to introduce Penngrove Reading Kits this year.

If you're curious which kit would be best for your reader, don't hesitate to reach out to their classroom teacher.
Detailed description of these kits are here. Otherwise, feel free to browse the kits in the office or reach out to Mrs. M with any questions at amiljkovic@petk12.org. There are multiple kits at most levels with different titles to keep things interesting :)
