Harmon Academy 2017-2018

Hello again family and friends! The school year is looming larger than ever this year, with many challenges and new opportunities. 

This year, America will be starting kindergarten, Axel will be in 2nd grade, Elvis will be in 5th grade! {This marks his last year in elementary school! I cannot believe it!} and  Vegas will be in 10th grade!


Bea will just be a cute reminder of how fortunate we are to have so much time together as a family! 


Elvis and Vegas will both be participating in local school music programs, which they are looking forward to very much.


Vegas will also be attending our local high school for four academic classes in addition to music classes.  This year he will also be playing with the Portland Youth Philharmonic, which is a goal he set three years ago for himself, and we are so excited for him!


As many of you know, we moved over the last year {again~and hopefully the last time for....ever} Tim is still pastoring a small church in Northeast Portland, and working part-time at Western Seminary.  I am holding down the fort, planning school curriculum, cleaning the house, working in the yard, and sometimes getting away to the local nursery to look at new plants. 

This year, I was torn about doing a fundraiser, but there are many practical considerations that helped make my decision. 

We have music lessons to pay for. 
We have co-op classes to pay for.
We drive kids to classes all the time, which takes gas.
Vegas needs a tux shirt.
The kids all need school supplies, and books.
Our markers wear out, shoes wear out, coats get small, and life provides unexpected costs just for good measure.

So, if you have any of the items on our wish list or are able to contribute in any way to our fundraiser, we would appreciate it so much. Our last few years would not have been possible without all the support we have received from you. Thank you!!

Sincerely, 
     The Harmon Academy
