The Harvey Middle School has finalized the details for this year’s spring trips. Each grade in the Middle School will take a different trip, which will provide the optimal experience. By having each grade take a separate trip, there is more opportunity to focus on curriculum relevant to the particular grade. (more…)

On Tuesday, February 26th the Seniors celebrated their last one-hundred days as Harvey students. Paper was hung to cover the doors to the study hall as parents worked all morning to transform the study hall into a special dining area for Seniors Only. As the doors to the study hall opened, the students were greeted by 100 balloons hanging from the ceiling. The decoration colors for the day were Harvey’s navy and maroon. Special balloon centerpieces were displayed on each table along with glittering confetti.

Each Senior received a pair of flannel pajama bottoms in traditional Harvey colors, embroidered with their year of graduation. Thanks to special permission from the administration, the Seniors were allowed to wear their pajama bottoms for the rest of the day.

Lee Robinson, our beloved chef, volunteered to make the Seniors’ favorite foods for the day which included chicken fingers, tossed salad and 100 cupcakes that were frosted by Senior Class parents Sheryl Bernhard, Lisa Rome and Joanne Suna. In addition, wedges and pizza were brought in, as well as sodas, to make the lunch even more festive. The 100 cupcakes were displayed to read “2008.”

Upper School Head Bob Cook, Assistant Headmaster Dick Wyland and Senior Class Advisor Lesley Boltz were in attendance. Lesley captured the moment with some wonderful photographs.

Special thanks to the Senior Class Parents who made this day happen.

And the count-down begins… 100, 99, 98, 97 …

Softball is all set for another successful season. While we suffered a significant blow with the loss of two seniors at the end of last season, we are thrilled to find the addition of no less than nine talented freshmen on our roster for this year! Kayla Mogrovejo, Carly Glenn, Sarah Hodson, Molly Hord, Alexa Marconi, Sarah Dowdell, Julia Parker, Victoria Shaffer and Rachel Dimowitz are more than “field ready” and raring to go. We have enough for a freshman team in practice and they are already holding their own against “the others”. We are also thrilled to have many current seniors bringing their experience to the team: Ali Walkup, Lauren Judisky, Clara Lefton, Brittany Fleiss, Leydi Lundeen-Goldschlag, Miranda Larsen and Rachel Camoia will return, along with sophomore Emmy Kaufman as lead pitcher and junior Erika Osborne as our outstanding catcher. Juniors Lauren Aiello, Laura Glass-Johnston, Noelle McKoy, Kate Urbach and Alisa Langer round out our experienced players while Rachel Chimblo, Carolynn Iskyan, Abby Hunt and Chrissy Casbarro are new additions. I am also delighted to share coaching duties again with Coach Phillips and new to softball Coach Rinnhofer who will be bringing along her camera to capture the highlights of the season. Obviously, with this roster, we are expecting an enjoyable and successful season led by our captains, elected by their teammates: Lauren Judisky, Ali Walkup and Erika Osborne. (more…)

Twenty-six students from The Harvey School were among thousands of volunteers from across the country who participated in the Read Across America initiative March 2.

Originally created as a one-day event to celebrate the joy of reading, and in honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, the initiative has become the nation’s largest reading celebration, providing children with the motivation to read and delivering an important message that kids who read on a regular basis and are read to succeed in school and in life.

China’s economy is booming and the worldwide interest in its official language, Mandarin, is exploding, too. Students attending an “Introduction to Chinese” course at The Harvey School are discovering that although the language is a difficult one to learn, it’s relevance in today’s global economy can no longer be ignored.
