🚌 National School Bus Safety Week! 🚌

Today, Hardin Northern welcomed representatives from the Ohio School Safety Center to teach our elementary students about school bus safety! Students learned important rules for waiting for the bus, approaching and boarding the bus, staying safe while riding, and recognizing the bus danger zones.

The ceramics class, which is a new course at Hardin Northern this year, has 15 students who have been working hard all year to create a number of ceramic projects. From pinch pots, coil pots, and slab built illuminated letters, to students learning how to throw pottery on the pottery wheel. Be on the lookout during quarter two for some cool chip-n-dip trays, slump bowls, and animal statues!

Art 3 students are currently finishing up a project of a zoomed in animal eye. In this project, students are creating a highly detailed colored pencil drawing of a zoomed-in animal or reptile eye. By focusing on an extreme close-up, students are exploring the intricate details, colors, textures, and values that make each animal unique.

Senior Night!

Today the fourth graders got to go to the Lima Civic Center to see the Lima Symphony Orchestra perform their Young People Concert. They got to see all the instrument families in action after learning about them this week. This concert began with a couple pieces that depicted Johnny Appleseeds Journey. After these selections, they got to enjoy some jazz in the orchestra with a piece from Duke Ellington. Then they finished with a piece from Star Wars!

💥 Stored energy vs. energy in motion! 🎃 Ready, set, LAUNCH! Our 1st and 2nd graders became rocket scientists today! We wrapped up our lesson on potential and kinetic energy by building our very own "Pumpkin Poppers" using cups and rubber bands.

So proud of these thinkers and creators! Ask your scientist tonight how far their pumpkin flew! 🧠🎃

🏈🏆 HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to our Junior High Polar Bears!

Our Junior High football team finished the season UNDEFEATED at 8-0 after defeating USV last night, 43-0! They are also the 2026 NWCC CHAMPIONS!

What an incredible season for these Bears! Congratulations to our players and coaches on an amazing accomplishment!
