This morning, Hardin Northern proudly hosted our annual retiree breakfast, and it was wonderful to welcome back so many familiar faces. It was a joy to visit, share stories, and catch up with those who have played such an important role in shaping our school and our community.

We are incredibly grateful for the lasting impact our retirees have made and continue to make. Thank you for all you’ve done for Hardin Northern.

🎄 Third Annual House Family Holiday Dining Experience 🎄

Today, students in grades 7–12 enjoyed a truly special tradition, our Third Annual House Family Dining Meal. This heartwarming event, hosted by our junior high and high school staff, was designed to give every student the feeling of sharing a holiday meal together like family.

Before sitting down to eat, students spent the day bonding as they participated in fun activities, sharing laughs, and building connections. Smiles, joy, and great memories filled the day from start to finish.

When it was time for the meal, the atmosphere was nothing short of magical. Students gathered around tables decorated with beautiful custom-made centerpieces and place settings, surrounded by Christmas music and a cozy fireplace displayed on the big screen. It truly felt like the holidays.

Students enjoyed delicious homemade desserts and treats prepared by their house family leaders, along with a free catered Christmas lunch featuring ham, cheezy potatoes, green beans, rolls, and Dietsch Brothers punch.

This meaningful experience was filled with joy, gratitude, and togetherness — memories our students will carry with them into the holiday season and beyond.

📸 Throwback Thursday! 📸

We’re rolling back to 1967 with a look at our Polar Bear varsity and reserve basketball teams from the Northern Lights! 🏀

Hard work, grit, and teamwork never go out of style — and these Bears were proof of that. A classic snapshot of dedication that helped pave the way for generations of Polar Bears to come.

This week, our third graders experienced a little extra holiday magic! Students carefully wrote letters to their elves from the North Pole, sharing their thoughts, questions, and holiday wishes. To their amazement, the elves wrote back!

When the letters arrived, the classroom was filled with excitement, smiles, and wide eyes. Students eagerly read their special messages and were thrilled to receive a reply straight from the North Pole. The joy and wonder on their faces reminded us just how magical this time of year can be.

This fun activity encouraged creativity, thoughtful writing, and imagination—while bringing a sprinkle of holiday magic to our classroom. It was a moment our third graders will surely remember! ✨🎄

Today, Mrs. Breece’s Holiday Card Club took a special trip to Vancrest of Ada, delivering over 80 handmade holiday cards to brighten the residents’ day.

Each card was thoughtfully designed by our students with festive cheer and kind words, and the impact was truly heartwarming. These letters have had such an impact on the residents that one of them wrote back to the students and asked to become pen pals!

Way to go, Hardin Northern students, for spreading kindness, connection, and holiday cheer. This is what it means to make a difference!💌

To wrap up the quarter, our chemistry students ended with a festive, hands-on Christmas activity!

Students extracted protein from milk to create a polymer, which they then shaped into holiday ornaments. Once the ornaments were formed, students decorated them with glitter, peppermint oil, and paint before adding ribbon for the finishing touch.

A fun and creative way to celebrate chemistry and the season!

Chemistry students completed their “Chemis-Tree” activity this week! 🎄

Students selected an element, researched its characteristics and uses, and then created a Christmas tree ornament that represented their chosen element to hang on the Chemis-Tree.

They did a fantastic job combining creativity and science!
