TestingCogAT
Harrison will administer the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) to 6th graders November 3 and 4. Sixth graders will test Tuesday and Wednesday for two hours each day. Please help your child do the very best work by having him or her eat a good breakfast and get a good night's rest. Being here and being on time each day is very important. Please also have students check their supplies to be sure they have two #2 pencils.

We are hoping to collect at least 300 pairs of shoes to send to orphans at Danita’s Children Orphanage. The drive will begin Monday, October 26, and will end on Friday, November 13.

 Food Drive
Harrison is joining the rest of the schools in the district in collecting food and toiletry items for the Christian Care Center. Students should bring items to their first core-block teacher, and the class that collects the most items will win a pizza party. Please make sure items are store-bought, nonperishable, and sealed in non-glass containers. Thank you for your support of those in need this holiday season.
