Last week was an incredible celebration of reading, learning, and the joy of stories during our Literacy Week! Our students had so much fun engaging with books, activities, and special reading moments that reminded us just how powerful literacy is.
We would like to send a huge thank you to all of our guest readers who took the time to visit our classrooms and share their love of reading with our students. Your presence made the week extra special and helped inspire a lifelong love of books.
Also a HUGE shout out to Ms. Garcia, our wonderful librarian, for planning and coordinating this week for our students!!
Thank you again for supporting our students and helping make Literacy Week such a success! 💙📖

Last week, our students honored Ruby Bridges, one of the bravest leaders in the Civil Rights Movement, by participating in Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day. 🚶🏽♀️💜
We loved seeing our students walk together in unity, courage, and kindness, just like Ruby did at only six years old. Her story reminds us that even the smallest among us can make a big difference.
Thank you to all the families and students who joined in! 💛
Let’s continue to stand for inclusivity, courage, and positive change every day.
Last Thursday, our Harris scholars had a blast exploring spooky science, creative engineering, awesome art, and more! 🧪⚙️👻
A huge thank you to our teachers, families, and volunteers who helped make the day a total success! 🥳💛
Get ready to walk, learn, and make a difference—tomorrow! 💜
Join us as we honor Ruby Bridges’ bravery, 65 years after she helped pave the way for desegregation in public schools.
📅 When: Tomorrow, Nov. 13 at 7:30 AM
📍 Where: Watermark Park (55th Ave & Edgemont)
Officer Miller & Phx P.D. will escort us as we walk together in unity. All Harris students will learn about Ruby’s story, with breakfast snacks after we return.
