Our sixth graders are inviting all our students to come support their fundraising event, Art on the Lawn. For the last several weeks, during our social studies classes as part of a citizenship unit, the students have been working to develop a booth showcasing one of their many talents. These booths are diverse, showcasing our students' creativity in the visual, performing, and culinary arts. Thanks to a generous grant from the Harman PTO, we can bring their hard work to our students and help support a local non-profit. During lunch/recess on May 11, 15, 18, and 22, our sixth graders will be manning their booths on the front lawn for our school community to visit. Most booths will cost $1, and students can purchase food samples, raffle tickets, and more. We will even have face painting on May 18th! This event is a fundraiser for We Care Arts in Kettering. www.wecarearts.org. Every single dollar collected will go to We Care Arts. Again, thank you to the PTO for making this event happen! So save the date and encourage your students to come out and support our wonderful sixth graders.

Harman sixth graders showcased their passion projects at the W.I.N.K. Expo — What I Now Know!
From interactive booths to creative displays, students shared what they’ve learned through a year of research on topics they love.
Families, classes, and visitors explored exhibits, some of which raised donations for causes like the Humane Society, USA Cheer, and SICSA.

Harman School would like to thank Oakwood Rotary for awarding us a grant to install a local history display in the third-grade hallway. The students learned so much about their city, and this year, a few students wrote letters to the Oakwood Rotary requesting grant money to install a map of the city of Oakwood and reusable photo frames. We eagerly anticipate installing these additions, which will enhance the learning experience.

Our 2nd graders had a blast at the Dayton Performing Arts Alliance’s program, Orchestra and You! Volunteers from the EnCorps Friends introduced students to the different families of the orchestra. After this engaging presentation, the students became the orchestra, watching for directions and playing life-size plexiglass models of instruments. It was a fun-filled learning experience for everyone! Thank you, Harman PTO, for supporting these organizations and providing opportunities for our students to have enjoyable learning experiences.
