The Harley School

Our Lower School held its annual Math Night, an evening of fun math games and community building for students and their parents. Thanks to Dr. Terry Smith for the great the photos!

Diwali was this week and once again senior Ava V led the celebration which featured a community rangoli, henna, and sweet treats. She even created a website (isharethelight.org) with resources for anyone who’d like to celebrate.

A huge shout-out and congrats to the Harley School students who delivered outstanding performances in the Hochstein Philharmonia Orchestra! We are super proud of these talented musicians: Frances B. (Harp), Sophie D. (Cello), Harper H. (Percussion), and Clementine W. (Cello).
