Today is National School Librarian Day and we want to say THANK YOU to our amazing librarians Mrs. Mollet and Mrs. Hutchison.




Mrs. Whitman's kindergarten class has been keeping busy! They have been watching the lifecycle of their growing pea plants and will taste test the leaves later this week. They are also working hard and showing great character! Derenzo earned the first "Cool Cat" award by being helpful, working hard and using kind words all day with his friends. Keep up the hard work!

Mr. Dunn and Ms. O'Neill's 2nd grade class had so much fun learning about graphs and making their own!





Mrs. Klein's class observed the life cycle of a butterfly the last few weeks of class. The students learned about each stage as they watched each caterpillar make a chrysalis, then turn into a butterfly. They released the butterflies today!



Tomorrow, Friday April 1st is the last day to order a yearbook for the 2021-22 school year. See the attached flyer for information on how to order.


Ellis Elementary’s Pie in the Face competition is getting heated! Students have only TWO more days to bring in coins to vote for who will receive a pie in the face on April 8.

Dear Harmony-Emge SD 175,
Due to the number of students currently quarantined, this Friday, January 14th - and each Friday in January - Harmony-Emge will implement a one-hour early release schedule (same times as Wednesday release times). This early release will allow our teachers and staff to more effectively plan and respond to our student needs in light of the ever-changing COVID-19 conditions.
The following dates will be a one- hour early release (Harmony and Emge 1:35pm, Ellis 2:30pm): January 14, 2022, January 21, 2022, January 28, 2022.
Thank you for your understanding and support during these difficult times,
Mrs. Lunz and Mrs. Kraemer
