We had the pleasure of welcoming author Bruce Hale to our school today! Bruce has written or illustrated over 70 seriously funny books for kids and travels the world sharing his love of reading and storytelling. Some of his popular titles include:
Clark the Shark
The Mystery of Mr. Nice
Snoring Beauty
Big Bad Detective Agency
The students were thrilled to meet Bruce and learn about his writing process. His visit was both entertaining and inspiring, leaving a lasting impression on our young readers.
A huge thank you to Bruce Hale for making the journey from Santa Barbara, California, to spend the morning with us. It was a fantastic experience that we won’t soon forget!

The 5th Grade has read 153 picture books this school year and counting! Every ELA class starts with a picture book. This gives good opportunities to compare and contrast books, talk about themes and morals of stories, and have student-led discussions. We are celebrating 5 years of reading picture books in 5th Grade!

Last night was the Elementary Polar Bear Showcase, and what a fantastic evening it was! We had a great turnout, and the kids truly shined. From creative projects to thoughtful displays, it was clear how much effort each child put into their work. So impressive!
A big shoutout to our talented musicians as well. The 5th & 6th grade band performed and the 4th graders played their recorders. They are so talented and did an outstanding job.
Thank you to all the staff, students, and families who made the evening so special. These are the moments that remind us why being a Polar Bear is something to celebrate.

Congratulations to the 2024-2025 Student Leader United Class!
Today, 26 students representing all of the Hardin County schools graduated from the Student Leader United program at Mid-Ohio Energy. This incredible group of young leaders spent the year learning, growing, and finding ways to make a positive impact in their communities.
A special shoutout to Cody Thiel, Keston Emerine, Stella Morrison and Alexis Oakley for proudly representing Hardin Northern!
Throughout the program, these students explored leadership, development, evaluated community needs, and even reviewed and awarded grant money to support meaningful projects within their communities. Student Leadership members were able determine grant money winners by examining applications & coming to a consensus. Mr Ruhlen & Mrs Rodabaugh were selected to use the grant money to purchase additional supplies/materials to enhance the learning environment for their students. Money was also allotted for the Polar Pantry which is an after school snack program for students involved in extracurricular activities.
Well done student leaders!
