We were so excited to celebrate Harper today! 🎉 This morning, she had the honor of ringing the bell after completing her iReady assessment — a special recognition of all the hard work she has put in throughout 1st grade.

Harper showed the most growth in our class, reaching an amazing 231% of her typical growth goal! 🌟 We are incredibly proud of her dedication, perseverance, and positive attitude toward learning each and every day. Way to go, Harper — you should be so proud of yourself! 💙📚

Nearly 4,000 Harford County Public Schools third grade students connected virtually with author and speaker Ty Allan Jackson this spring for an unforgettable experience centered around entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and dreaming big. Thanks to Aberdeen Proving Ground Federal Credit Union, every third grade student also received a copy of Make Your Own Money to keep the learning going at home.

We love Mrs. Rathburn! 😍

🔔Another Bell Ringer!🔔

Ava rang the bell today because she is an amazing realistic fiction writer!  She used up her pages, wrote across her pages, used dialogue, had multiple characters and settings in her story!  Ms. Michocki is so proud of Ava!
