Dear Harding Families,
We will be very excited to welcome back all of our students as the summer quickly comes to an end and a new school year begins. It has been so encouraging to greet our lower school bridging students and those who have returned for athletic and band practices, as well as our administration, new teachers, and SGA leaders who have been working hard to prepare for the beginning of school. I'm eager for our school once again to come to life as our hallways and classrooms are filled with some of the greatest kids in Memphis!
I hope the following dates and reminders will be helpful:
Tax-Free Weekend: Don't forget that this weekend is "Tax-Free Weekend." While it will be very hectic, it is a good time to save some money on school supplies and uniforms.
Back-to-School Packets: You can access all the information you need to prepare for the start of school on our web-site. Be sure to note the clarification of our shoe policy.
Back 2 School Bash: Please plan to join us for the "Back 2 School Bash" on Friday, August 10, 6:30 p.m. at our Cherry Road campus. It will be a fun and exciting event to kick off another great year. Registration is open on our website through August 9. The entire Harding family is invited!
