Explorer Elementary

During the pandemic, HSD library staff continued to exceed our District's demands and adapt resources and services to meet our students' needs during challenging times. Whether in person or virtually, Harrisburg libraries offer endless opportunities to transform lives through education and lifelong learning. Here's a shoutout to our Harrisburg Libraries and their staff! #TigerProud 🐾♥️📚

We had a great couple of weeks traveling back to the pioneer days and learning about Laura Ingalls Wilder in On the Banks of Plum Creek! Please check out some pictures of our activities from One Book, One School 2021. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances with our book order, we will not be getting books this year for families. Our learners still had a lot of fun listening to the story at school and participating in different activities throughout the weeks!

Harrisburg Summer Drama Camp (SPA) is open for registration! Any current K-5th graders are invited to have some fun exploring theatre this summer! For more information: bit.ly/HarrisburgSPA
