Harlan Schools Kick Off “Capturing Kids’ Hearts” Program

Harlan Community School District (HCSD) has recently launched an exciting new program called “Capturing Kids’ Hearts,” aimed at enhancing the learning environment for students as the new school year begins.

During a two-day professional development workshop, teachers engaged in activities designed to foster relationships and build connections with their students. Facilitated by Brad McCoy and Mitch Sorensen, the program emphasized the importance of putting students first, allowing staff to bond through shared experiences.

Testimonials from excited teachers highlighted the program's effectiveness in energizing and uniting the staff. Many felt an immediate positive shift in their dynamic, with several mentioning how the activities made them both laugh and cry together.

The district has committed to ongoing support for the program, including check-ins and additional training to ensure its successful implementation. As HCSD teachers look forward to putting these strategies into practice, they aim to create a nurturing atmosphere where every student feels valued.
