Happy Gifted and Talented Awareness Week!
Since 2019, the last full week of February has been designated as Gifted and Talented Awareness Week in Arkansas. Here at Harrison Schools, we are proud to celebrate our students' high potential and the specialized learning opportunities that help them thrive!
Our GT classrooms have been buzzing with activity this month:
Elementary (4th-6th): Students are wrapping up independent research projects, diving into agricultural units on global climates, and preparing for upcoming Quiz Bowl and Chess tournaments!
Middle & High School: Students are exploring "Curiosity Units"—becoming the teachers themselves—and capturing the world through photography and creative artwork.
Our dedicated gifted and talented team is committed to providing "qualitatively differentiated" experiences that challenge our students' intellectual, creative, and motivational abilities every single day.
Stay tuned all week as we share more about this program and the amazing work of our Harrison Goblins!

How many generations of Goblins are in your family?
Mrs. Lunsford’s Middle School class kicked off the Valentine’s weekend with a STEM showdown last Friday!
Students used marshmallows, gummies, and toothpicks to compete for the "Longest Bridge" title. It took creativity, steady hands, and a little bit of sugar to get the job done.
Check out their creations!

Celebrating Literacy and Creativity at Harrison Preschool
Winter magic is in the air—and on the walls—at Harrison Preschool! After reading the award-winning classic The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats, students transitioned from story time to the art studio to recreate the book's iconic imagery.
Using vibrant blue construction paper and red cutouts, our young artists depicted Peter’s famous walk through the snow. Even with our recent warm temperatures, these "snowy" masterpieces serve as a wonderful reminder of the lingering winter season outside.
We are proud of the imagination and fine motor skills our Harrison preschoolers displayed through this project. Please join us in celebrating these talented little Goblins!
