A special message from THE WONDERFUL Ms. Lawrence:
Our community project was in honor of MLK's Day of Service and we made OVER 200 Kindness Kits for the unhoused or living on streets. Each Kindness Kit represents each 6th grade student at
Harshmanโ this was my ultimate goal. Many moments, I didn't think that we were going to make this number, but we did it! Yay team! Thank you to all the 6th grade advisory classrooms who collected & donated their assigned product and to ALL the parents in our school community in all grades who donated. A special shout out to Mr. Bradley and John B***r Neighborhood Center, Mrs.Saroj Parikshak for her contributions, and Lisa Celifarco Brandenburg for all your extra and helpful contributions!
