Dear Harmony 175 Families,
It is with a heavy heart to share the news of the passing of a former teacher, Mrs. Barb Knavel. Mrs. Knavel served in our district for 21 years as both a 1st and 4th grade teacher and is leaving a lasting impact on both students and colleagues alike.
During her time with us, Mrs. Knavel demonstrated not only her passion for teaching but also her kindness and compassion towards everyone around her. Her legacy will continue to live on through the countless students she taught and the positive influence she has had on our school community.
We will always remember her fondly and cherish the memories we shared together.

Today Coding Club moved in to Robotic Finches. We spent the opening learning about their basic functions; we added color lights, music notes, and even had races!
STEM club is at it again! We have built moveable snakes, Ferris wheels, ramps, and even coded a moveable crane!

For the month of November we are recognizing the subcultural of Hip Hop with our teachers and staff. Hip Hop emerged in the Bronx in the 1979s, so we highlighted Grandmaster Flash and The Sugar Hill Gang, two Hip Hop artist from that time period. The STL Art Museum has a traveling Hip Hop exhibit in November if you’re interested in learning more!
The third grade students enjoyed serving up french fry orders! They were learning multiples of 10 as they worked in small groups to create their orders.
We are so appreciative of Got Your Six Support Dogs for coming and educate our students about therapy dogs! Students had the opportunity to socialize and read stories to Lexi (Golden Retriever) and Kodi (Australian Shepherd).
Thanks to Mrs. Amanda DuClos for demonstrating the flute and piccolo to our 7th grade students today!
