Molly Scranton shows her
new art project, a frog
puppet she made at Camp
Kindergarten at North
Harrison Elementary School
in May. The incoming
Kindergarten students spent
the evening boarding a
school bus for the first time,
singing songs, conducting a
science project, making art
projects and more. Here,
Kindergarten teacher Kelley
Churchill reads a book about
riding the bus to school. Each soon to be kindergartener was given their own special copy of this book to
take home and read this summer. They also got to use a Smart Board for the first time! This transition-to-
kindergarten program was developed by North Harrison Community Schools and Metro United Way
Success By 6 Harrison County Action Team and funded with the assistance of HCCF grant making
dollars at work.

1997.
