Throwback Thursday | Hardin Northern

Today’s Throwback Thursday comes from the 1979 edition of the Northern Lites yearbook, where we’re highlighting the juniors and seniors of the Future Farmers of America (FFA).

FFA has long been an important part of the Hardin Northern tradition, helping students build leadership skills, learn about agriculture, and prepare for their futures. It’s always fun to look back and see the proud members who helped carry on that legacy.

Take a look and see if you recognize any familiar faces!

Kindergarten tried green eggs and ham! Most were very surprised to find they really do like them! Many students were also surprised to find that they can read the whole book without needing any help. Fun times in kindergarten!

Today is National Maintenance Worker Appreciation Day, and we want to give a huge shoutout to Brian, Scott, and Jeff for everything they do for Hardin Northern. From keeping our building running smoothly to jumping in whenever something needs fixed, your hard work and dedication never go unnoticed. Our school is a better place because of the pride you take in what you do each and every day.

Today, our 5th grade students showed their appreciation by presenting them with a special sign and some candy to say thank you. It was a small gesture for the big impact these three make every day.

Brian, Scott, and Jeff — we appreciate you and all you do for our Polar Bear family! 🐻‍❄️🔧👏

We had a great opportunity today as Professor Denman, Band Director from Ashland University, spent time working with our junior high and high school band students. It was a fantastic experience for our students to learn from him, and they gained valuable insight and instruction.

A big thank you to Professor Denman for taking the time to visit Hardin Northern and share his knowledge and passion for music with our Polar Bear musicians. We truly appreciate the opportunity! 🎶🐻‍❄️

Jack made the kindergarten sight club again! He can now write our first 100 sight words. He, of course, had to be ninja-kicking! Way to go, Jack!
