Dear Harding Families: If you are unsure whether there is a school cancellation or not, the most trusted and reliable source is the Erie's Public Schools Facebook page or website. www.eriesd.org

We will also always share that information here on our Harding page for you and it will be posted by the district in ParentSquare.

If it is not on the district website or Facebook page, it is not accurate.

The internet says that January 16th is National Appreciate a Dragon Day - so it must be true! Appreciate a Dragon Day is celebrated annually on January 16th - recognizing dragons in mythology, literature, pop culture - and school mascots?!
Let's show our dragon pride this Friday by wearing Harding apparel - or our school colors: purple & green. To appreciate our students and families - don't forget to join us at our special Harding night at the ExpERIEnce Children's Museum that night from 5:30-7:30 PM.
