Molly Scranton shows her
new art project, a frog
puppet she made at Camp
Kindergarten at North
Harrison Elementary School
in May. The incoming
Kindergarten students spent
the evening boarding a
school bus for the first time,
singing songs, conducting a
science project, making art
projects and more. Here,
Kindergarten teacher Kelley
Churchill reads a book about
riding the bus to school. Each soon to be kindergartener was given their own special copy of this book to
take home and read this summer. They also got to use a Smart Board for the first time! This transition-to-
kindergarten program was developed by North Harrison Community Schools and Metro United Way
Success By 6 Harrison County Action Team and funded with the assistance of HCCF grant making
dollars at work.
A grand celebration May 19 marked the 100,000th student
to walk through the doors of the James W. Robinson
Junior Achievement Center. Here, eighth graders from
South Central Junior/Senior High School along with HCCF,
Junior Achievement staff and other special guests
celebrate this milestone. JA works closely with educators
to ensure that its award-winning materials address the
curriculum needs of the 44,000 students in seven counties
of Southern Indiana and 19 counties in Kentucky. HCCF
has been supporting Junior Achievement programs in
Harrison County since the first grants were awarded in
1997.
Other Events

Community Center gymnasium was held May
