Welcome Harvest Families,
My name is Emily Sickler and this is my fifth year serving as the proud principal of Harvest Elementary School. If I have not yet had a chance to personally meet and welcome you to Harvest, please read page 3 of our Harvest Handbook where I share a message and a short video.
If you have driven by Harvest, you can see that crews are working hard on our roof. This project is a two-year project with half of the roof to be completed this year and the reminder to be completed in Summer 2024. Thus far, we are right on track with the roof work that needs to be completed for Summer 2023! While work is happening outside, we are also working hard inside the building to make sure we can welcome so many new and returning students to Harvest this year.
I will use this blog to keep you updated with all Harvest Happenings! Please be on the lookout for weekly updates each Sunday at 3:00pm. The cadence of this blog is consistent, with the following sections:
- Note from Ms. Sickler
- Save the Dates
- PTA Points
- District Notes
- Quick Links
- Did You Know?
- Ms. Sickler Reads
I hope to keep you informed on the most pertinent information about what is happening here at Harvest to keep all students safe, joyful, and able to thrive. If that is not the case for your child, please reach out to me directly so we can meet. I can be reached at sicklere@salineschools.org.
Our Harvest Handbook has a wealth of information. Throughout the next few months, I will be pulling out pieces of the handbook to highlight in this blog.
I am grateful for the most important work that I do… walking alongside families as students take some of the very first steps in their educational journeys.
