🗓️ April Spirit & Awareness Days

🌈 Wednesday, April 1st - Autism Acceptance Day - "Celebrate Being You!" 

Just like the rainbow is full of many colors, each of us brings something unique to our school. Let’s fill our halls with understanding and kindness!

• Wear It Proudly: Choose your unique color! Whether bright, bold, calm, or creative—wear a color (or many colors of the rainbow) that represents YOU.

• Infinity Signs: Students will be bringing home an infinity sign to decorate. These will be displayed in school to show how all of our colors come together to create something beautiful.

💜 April 15th – Purple Up for Military Kids Day!

We will be acknowledging our students who have family members in active military service.

Wear Purple: We ask everyone to wear purple to show our gratitude and support!

Join us for a fun Friday night under the lights, celebrating health, community, and Harborfields spirit! The evening will feature interactive wellness booths, student-led activities, community health organizations, and hands-on experiences focused on fitness, nutrition, mindfulness, and overall well-being.

Leading up to the event, WDP and TJL students will also take part in the Healthy Tornado Challenge, building healthy habits in nutrition, hygiene, mental health, and movement. Challenge participants will be recognized on the field at halftime during the Girls Varsity Lacrosse game. Come learn, connect, and celebrate wellness together as One Harborfields Family.
