Highlights...
Our Fall Festival Family Night was amazing! Over 190 Harvey-Swanson families, several staff members, and too many volunteers to count came together for the fun. It was only possible because of the amazing teamwork, the countless volunteers, and the generous donations from surrounding businesses. A huge thank you to our PTA for leading and organizing this event. Thank you to our many volunteers: parents, BMS and BHS students, and lots of staff. Thank you to the businesses that made donations like Oxford Meijer that donated 10 gallons of apple cider. Thank you to everyone who took time to decorate their trunk (or school bus:) for Trunk or Treating. Thank you to the 10 amazing cooks who made chili for our cook off. One of our very own 2nd graders made chili and it was one of the top three winners! What a wonderful night it was. Enjoy the pictures!
Welcome to the Festival!
