Yesterday, our amazing students and staff got the ultimate chance to 'color' outside the lines...literally! At our annual Harvest Run, we hosted an epic paintball event - and our principal was the main target! The classes that raised the most funds for our Harvest Run threw paintballs at Mrs. Troester! The teachers couldn't miss out on the fun either and threw some as well! Huge thanks to our PTO, volunteers, and staff for organizing this unforgettable experience. It's events like these that make Harvest Hills Elementary truly special.
