Dear Harmony DC Families, Students, and Staff,

We were thrilled to welcome you to a new school year! We hope you all had a restful summer and came back ready for the exciting year ahead. Our team worked hard to ensure we created an engaging environment where every student could thrive.

This year, we focused on building a community rooted in PRIDE: Perseverance, Responsibility, Integrity, Dedication, and Empathy. These values guided everything we did as we worked together for student success.

Thank you for being an essential part of our community. Together, we made this year great!
