Hardin Northern Community,
The band program is in desperate need of instruments! We’ve reached a point where the number students joining band is surpassing the number of school instruments that they can use.That’s a great problem to have but, I do not want to turn anyone away from band! We’re the most in need of Alto Saxophones, Trombones, and Trumpets. However, any instrument would be greatly appreciated! If you happen to have one lying around that you’d be able to donate to the band, it would be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please reach out!
Musically Yours,
Mr. Dotson

Motivation Monday!
“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.”
Big goals are reached one step at a time. Every homework assignment, every practice, every positive choice adds up. Keep showing up and putting in the effort. Bears, your hard work matters more than you know!
Have a great week, Bears!

During Health class, our 7th grade students took part in an important lesson on making healthy choices. A guest speaker came in to talk about the dangers of vaping, breaking down the myths and sharing the facts. After the presentation, students participated in activities that reinforced what they learned and encouraged them to think about the impact of their choices. Proud of our Bears for engaging in meaningful conversations about making smart choices.
Dress up days for Homecoming Week!

It’s Fri-YAY! This morning, our Polar Bears were greeted by the girls volleyball team with high-fives and big smiles to kick off the day. The kids were so excited to see their older role models spreading positivity, and the energy was contagious! Even Chilly joined in the fun, bringing plenty of hugs, fist pumps, and laughter to start the morning right. It’s going to be a great day—and an even greater day to be a Polar Bear!
Have a great Friday!
Have a great Friday!
Congratulations to the Jr. High Football Team on a huge 66-0 win over Perry!🏈






Last night, the Hardin Northern Golf Team and the Ridgemont Golf Team decided to wrap up the regular season with something a little different before heading into Sectionals. Instead of facing off against each other, Polar Bears and Gophers from both teams were paired up-to create mixed teams for the night!
It was a great evening filled with laughs, good shots, and even better memories. While they’ve been competitors all season long, this match was all about the friendships they’ve built and the game they love to play. And to make things even more exciting, the coaches got in on the action too-bringing their own friendly rivalry to their golfers playing against them as well.
What an awesome way to end the season and have fun and relax before they head into Sectionals!
