Good morning Kindergarten Families! We look forward to welcoming your child to NHE on August 3, 2023. In an effort to help ease first day jitters and get your child familiar with our building, procedures, and routines, we will be hosting a 2-day Camp Kindergarten on Tuesday, July 25th and Wednesday, July 26 from 8:30am-10:30am. This is a great opportunity to walk your child into the school building and take dropoff pictures, as we do not allow parents in the building on the first day of school. Doors will open at 8:15am. On Tuesday morning, we will gather in the gym for a short meeting with parents and students before we release students to classrooms with their teachers. Dismissal will be at 10:30am. Dismissal procedures will be explained Tuesday morning. If you have not already completed the camp registration for your child, please do so immediately by clicking on this link. https://forms.gle/sup7pKrZ4VCX4hXK6
We look forward to meeting you at Camp Kindergarten!

We are celebrating a 34 year tradition at NHE. Over the past 34 years, the children of North Harrison Elementary have raised nearly$600,000 for Norton's Children's Hospital. These are pictures of over half of our students whose families raised $100 or more. Philanthropy at its best.
NHE 4th graders have been working with area and perimeter to create town maps from a bird's eye view. Mrs. Wagner's class is showing off their finished product. Five different groups each created a different part of the town, and then we put them all together. The last two pictures are all four cities combined!
It was Hawaiian/ tourist day at NHE and a great way to end Miss Winn's around the world unit. The 5th graders "traveled" around the world and did context clue challenges, while learning new things about each place they visited.
On Tuesday, NHE 4th graders traveled to Angel Mounds State Historic Site in Evansville, IN for a special extended day field trip! What started out as a very rainy morning, turned out to be a beautiful day to learn about the Mississippian Native American culture.
On Wednesday, NHE 4th graders participated in Game Day! They brought games from home to share with friends and we had a fantastic day together playing them all!
2nd grade at NHES worked in small groups to design and build bridges! They were not only architects, but engineers! They had to develop a “blue print” and build from their ideas.
Last Week the NHE 4th graders attended a field trip to downtown Corydon. They explored Governor Hendricks' House, the Capitol Building, and Zimmerman's Art Glass. They enjoyed lunch and some play time at Rice Island Park. Then they finished off the field trip with a bus tour of some other areas around Corydon, including the Leora Brown School, Cedar Hill Cemetery, the Constitution Elm, and Big Indian Creek. What a gorgeous day spent in our small town of Corydon!
North Harrison Elementary has a NEW Playground! It seemed like it took forever to complete, but the playground is finished and it is awesome!
2nd grade at NHES worked in small teams to design and build an egg protector, using only straws and tape! For Round 1 trials, SRO Hutchinson was our official tester, dropping them off his truck! Many made it to round 2 testing!
NHE 5th graders enjoyed a beautiful day participating in our annual cave crawl. This was the first cave trip we have had since covid. It was great to keep this NHE 5th grade tradition going!!!!
Mr. Johnson's 2nd grade class participated in a Build a Bridge challenge. Students designed, built, and tested their bridges using various items in the classroom. One bridge supported 13 Wonder's reading books!
North Harrison is going forward with STEM Certification. Some of the students in Mrs. Schulz's Class earned a Purdue STEM Degree. They completed ten online lessons and passed the tests for each one to earn their Purdue STEM Degree. The lessons presented a wide variety of topics such as: The Greenhouse Effect, what can be learned from fossils, animal adaptations and more. These students used their free time to work on their STEM Degrees. They are very proud to have finished the course!
Many elementary archery students shot at Nationals today. Mrs. Benson and Mrs. Crosier teamed up to create supportive banners to welcome them back to NHE tomorrow. Way to go NHE Archers!
