Harmony Huskies!
 As another one of my children graduates from Elementary School I have to write a post about their amazing school Harmony Elementary!
All of my children have started at this school and three of them now have finished here as well, the latest being Brooklyn!
This is what I wished for as a child (mom don't get mad at me when you read this!!) I love the fact that my children have all been able to go to the same school!  I love that the teachers and principles know who we are!  I love that I feel so comfortable with many of the staff members and know them well.  I love that some of my children have had the same teachers and they recognize the "Jackson kids".  I just love everything about this school!   Harmony has an amazing staff and great programs!  Some of the things my girls did this year was Brooklyn participated in band as a fifth grader:



she also did Safety Patrol and had a fun end of the year celebration!


Brooklyn's teachers this year were Mrs. Tendler (fellow BYU grad and was also Mason's 5th grade teacher!) who taught reading and writing and Mr. Nadal who was amazing at Science and Math!







Brinley had Mrs. Brownlee:



We had never had her yet as a teacher so we didn't know much about her... but she was amazing with her kids and I loved going into her class!  They were always so well behaved and on task!  Brinley learned a lot from her and had a great year!  In third grade she participated in the cultural parade & potluck:
famous person presentations and in class plays:

Maddie had a fantastic year!  I was a little nervous for her because she is one of the youngest in her grade and a little on the timid side.  Her teacher Mr. Schiewe told me at her fall conference that he was a "little" worried about her the first week of school. But, by the time we had that conference in October she had grown so much already and by the end of the year she had done great!  Most of these huge improvements were because of her fantastic teacher:
Maddie also had a learning support teacher to help her with reading, Mrs. Baron:
She helped her excel in her reading and get her exactly where she needed to be by the end of the year! Some other fun things that Maddie did this year was breakfast club, field trips, music performance, hot air balloon launch:

and a fun field day with her class!



Harmony wouldn't be so great with out their principle Mary Horn!  She truly loves her school, the families, teachers, and of course the students!



At the end of the school year I always feel sooo emotional! I often have to fight back the tears, and this year was no exception!  Some of it is due to the fact that another year has flown by and my children are growing up so fast.  But mostly I think it's because I am sad that the year is over and they have to say goodbye to their great teachers!  This is why I truly love this school and cherish the memories we have made here!
