What a Week!

What a week at Harriet Bishop!
  • Strings lessons started today. It is amazing to see kiddos walking through the hallways with violins and violas in hand, or basses or cellos on their backs!
  • Our Artist in Residence, Leo Lara, will start on Wednesday. Check out our newsletter to find out more about this amazing musician!
  • Wednesday is also Veterans' Day, when students will learn about the sacrifice and valor of veterans and current servicemen and servicewomen.
  • On Thursday, M.A. Rosko, from Fox 9, will be doing live shots at Harriet Bishop as our students will participate in the WSSA Stack Up event.
  • Our 5th and 6th graders of the Willow Community are giving their time and making a difference at Ebenezer Care Center through service projects.
  • Students buildingwide are participating in a food drive for local food shelves from now through November 18th.
  • Mr. Risteau and some very creative students recently finished making their stop motion animated movie shorts.
  • Speaking of some creative and capable students, did you know that Harriet Bishop's Spelling Bee was filmed and broadcast throughout our building, complete with graphics and text? No bid deal you say... Mr. Risteau was absent that day. It was done ENTIRELY BY STUDENTS!!!
What a week! What wonderful opportunities for students! What a terrific group of professionals who work here! What a fantastic group of students!
