Thank You for Joining Us at Family Learning Night!
We want to send a huge THANK YOU to all the families who joined us for Family Learning Night! It was wonderful to see so many of you engaged in learning together—and, of course, enjoying the nacho bar with us! 🌮🧀
Events like these are so important because they strengthen the connection between home and school, giving families a chance to be part of their child’s education in a fun and meaningful way. Your support makes all the difference, and we love seeing our school community come together!
We appreciate you and can’t wait to see you at our next event! 💙📚
Happy Spring!
We have several important updates to share. Christine Impastato, President of our PTO, has decided to step down from the board. We are grateful for all of her hard work over the past few years and wish her the very best!
In the interim, Laura Shelton will be assuming the responsibilities of PTO President. We are currently accepting nominations via email to pto@harmony175.org for the offices of Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Parliamentarian. Further nominations may be made from the floor at our next meeting on Monday, March 31, 6-7pm in the Emge cafeteria. The slate will be voted on at that meeting and installed at the April meeting.
Please see the attached flyer for all upcoming PTO dates! We'd love to see you and your families at these events!
We appreciate your understanding and support during this transition. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at pto@harmony175.org.

Mrs. Barbeau's class took advantage of the gorgeous weather we had today! ☀️🌈
We sure do love STEAM! Lego and magna tiles are the go-to!
We tried our best, but he got away! Next year, Mr. Leprechaun 🍀!
Mrs. Barbeau’s kindergarten class wrote out a hypothesis (smart guess) to predict what would happen when we poured warm water on skittles?!
Our hypothesis was correct! It did, indeed, make a rainbow!!🌈
In kindergarten class today, we are attempting to catch the leprechaun. Wish us luck🍀
