Harrisburg R-VIII School District

Happy National Parents As Teachers Day! Today we celebrate our district PAT Coordinator Dana Byrd and Parent Educator Emily Furlong and the families they partner with to support the educational goals of our youngest Bulldogs. The PAT program is available to all families expecting a child or those parenting children that have not yet entered kindergarten who live in the Harrisburg R-VIII School District. Elementary Principal Gabe Burris shared the following: “Dana and Emily are both major assets to our district as they often provide the first contact for the district with many of our families. As a parent that has had kids in the PAT program, I can say our parent educators definitely go above and beyond to put families in touch with resources, provide information about development milestones, and provide peace of mind in regards to different obstacles of being a parent.” Thank you Dana and Emily for the many ways you support the youngest Bulldogs and their families in our district. #BulldawgPride Follow the Harrisburg PAT Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/harrisburgPAT for more information about this wonderful program. #BulldawgPride

Students in Dr. Weathers' Spanish 1 learned about the customs associated with Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos), which is celebrated beginning on the evening of October 31 (going to the market to get needed items, cleaning off graves of loved ones) and continues on November 1 (celebrating those who passed when they were children) and November 2 (celebrating those who died as adults). One of the traditions involves constructing an altar for a family member and one of the items that may decorate the altar is a sugar skull (calaverita de azúcar). Made from a mixture of sugar, meringue powder and water, then molded into halves, the sugar pieces are "glued" together with royal icing and then decorated. Students also made paper cutout banners (papel picado) and paper flowers (las flores de papel). The sugar skulls will be on display at this year's MusArt celebration in Spring 2025.
