🦖 Digging into discovery! 🦴

Our Young Paleontologists are uncovering the mysteries of the prehistoric world! From learning about fossils and creating their own salt dough fossil imprints to carefully reconstructing a T. rex skeleton from handmade bones, Summer Sailors are putting their scientific thinking and creativity to work every day!

Who knew paleontology could be this much fun? 🦕✨

One of our favorite Harbor traditions. 💙

This morning, families joined us for our final Open Classrooms of the school year, where students proudly shared their portfolios and reflected on the incredible growth they’ve made since September.

From first attempts to final projects, from new skills to newfound confidence, each portfolio tells a story of learning, perseverance, and discovery. It was a joy to watch students take the lead, guiding parents through their work and sharing the moments that mattered most to them.

The room was filled with smiles, conversations, and a deep sense of pride—among students, teachers, and caregivers alike. These moments remind us that learning is about so much more than what children know; it’s about who they are becoming.

Thank you to all the families who joined us for coffee, reflection, and celebration as we close another wonderful year at Harbor. ⚓️

Team Harbor gathered on Sunday, May 17, for the Superhero Sprint & 6K to honor the memory of former student Michael Mosier and to support the incredible work his family has led in the fight against DIPG. 💛

Together, we shared memories of Michael, learned about recent developments in treatments, and were reminded why fundraisers like this matter so deeply. Research for rare childhood cancers like DIPG depends on communities coming together to create hope for other families facing this devastating disease.

Donations made to Defeat DIPG race teams benefit the ChadTough Defeat DIPG Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to funding childhood brain cancer research, with an emphasis on DIPG.

You can continue to support Team Harbor’s fundraiser through May 31 using the link in our profile. Thank you for helping carry Michael’s legacy forward.
