News from the Harrison PTA:
If you ordered PTA spirit wear for your child, the delivery has been delayed at the design company. The PTA apologizes
for this inconvenience to your child and wants you to know they will get their spirit wear as soon as possible.
Once again this year, you can help the PTA make a dime without spending a dime. Just cut the box tops from
participating General Mills products and send them to school with your child. We have started our first contest of the
year – Boys vs Girls – and the winning gender gets a Jeans Day! Students should write their gender on the bag of box
tops and drop the bag in the collection bin in the front hallway. This contest runs until Oct. 5th.
There are Spirit Nights planned for Chick fil-A, Orange Leaf, and Five Below. On these days just let the cashier know you
are supporting Harrison Intermediate. The dates are:
Chick fil-A (from 5-8pm): Oct. 27, Dec. 17, Jan. 29, Feb. 24, Mar. 23, Apr. 30, and May 20

College Thursdays – Thursdays are College Day in Wylie and students and staff are encouraged to wear a college

The Wylie Way is a movement in our schools that fosters ethical, responsible, and caring young people through
an emphasis on the values of our Wylie ISD community. It is built on the foundations of Relationships; Wylie Essentials
of Behavior; Preparing for Prosperity with College & Career Awareness and Readiness; Caring, Giving, and Service
Learning; and Celebrating. For more information about The Wylie Way please see the Wylie ISD website. If you have a
story to share about The Wylie Way in action please go to the Wylie ISD website, hover over Our District, click on The
Wylie Way, and then on Tell Us About the Wylie Way in Action.
If your child is absent please send a note to the office within three days of his/her return to school. We cannot
accept a phone call as an excused absence. You may also use the Absence Notification tab in Family Access.
