When the Welcome Back 2015 Assembly began, all of the students were brought into the old gym and sat down on the bleachers while a slide show of all of the teachers and their hobbies was playing.

Harvest students fill the bleachers at the start of the assembly.

Then Mrs. Banta, joined by Ms. Martin, took the mics and lead everyone in the HMS Cheer.

Afterward, Mr. Flores gave an introduction talking about the upcoming school year. He followed with ” some words of wisdom “, as Mrs. Banta said.

Mrs. Banta then asked Ms. Zorn’s Leadership class what they hear IB students say most. Mostly they said it is kind of hard.

Finally, a school video about BEST and student expectations was followed with a flash mob by the Harvest teaching staff.  They played a popular song but the lyrics were changed and all of the teachers whipped to it.Juan Paramo Photo

The teachers decided to demonstrate the Learner Profile traits by being risk-takers in the center of the gym and break dancing to Mrs. Lewis’s rapping.
