Harkins would like to wish Ms Krista Hamilton a happy maternity leave and welcome our new teacher on the Green Team, Ms Holly McEvoy. When you see Ms McEvoy in the hallway, give her a warm Harkins "Welcome!" and a smile! :)
We had an excellent presentation from Crash Test Dummies drummer Mitch Dorge today. Mitch’s message is to be happy, be positive and work hard to do what you truly love. We must respect others in their quest to find themselves and live to the fullest. Thanks Mitch! See the corresponding photo gallery: http://hms.nbed.nb.ca/gallery/guest-speaker-mitch-dorge
