Harrison County Schools now has an Anti-Bullying Hotline. The number to call or text is 588-8081. Bullying should be reported to teachers, counselors or administrators.

SCHOOL BREAKFAST – GO FOR GOLD
HELPING HARRISON COUNTY STUDENTS GET READY FOR SUCCESS
Cynthiana, KY March 2012 – What has been proven to boost test scores and improve classroom behavior, while reducing tardiness and trips to the nurse’s office? School breakfast! Yet in the race to get to the head of the class, many students forget the importance of jump starting their school days with a morning meal.
To highlight how eating a balanced breakfast at school can help students succeed, Harrison County is hosting “School Breakfast – Go for Gold.” The campaign will be appearing in school cafeterias from January to March, culminating in National School Breakfast Week, March 5-9, 2012.
Cafeterias will celebrate school breakfast with special menus and decorations, fun puzzles and school breakfast related brainteasers to help students to warm up their brains before they head to class.
Every school day, Harrison County’s breakfast program offers students the healthy foods they need to get set for a busy school day. Every school breakfast served meets federal nutrition standards limiting fat and portion size.
Healthy school breakfasts can be a lifesaver for busy parents too. “It’s a race for any family to get their kids ready, fed and out the door in time for school,” said Tammy Klapheke, Food Service Director. “Knowing that your child can eat a healthy breakfast after they get to school can be a huge relief for parents.”
“School Breakfast – Go for Gold” was created by the non-profit School Nutrition Association with support from General Mills Foodservice. This national campaign recognizes National School Breakfast Week, launched in 1989 to raise awareness of the availability of the School Breakfast Program (SBP) to all children and the links between eating a good breakfast, academic achievement and healthy lifestyles.
Commissioner of Education Dr. Terry Holliday visited our district this morning. His visit was a wonderful way to begin the week. He visited Southside, HCMS, and HCHS and was impressed by our staff and students. It is always exciting to showcase our district – Harrison County Schools’ students and staff are the best!
