HARKER FAMILY & ALUMNI PICNIC
We Need Your Creature Connections! Our auction committee is looking for exotic and exciting animal-themed items for this year’s ClawsVegas-themed picnic auction. Do you have a “creature connection” that could help us? We need someone who knows someone at places like the zoo or the wild animal park, Animal Planet or Sea World. Maybe your neighbor’s sister trains dolphins or your cousin’s son drives a whale watching boat? Is your college roommate a bear expert or related to Crocodile Dundee or Jane Goodall? Any and all Las Vegas connections would work great here too! We can follow up on any lead big or small and maybe turn it into a fabulous package for our auction. Please contact Teré Aceves at terea@harker.org with your creative ideas. Thanks so much!

Students Enjoy Spring Pool Party An excited group of 13 middle school students enjoyed a pool party in mid-April at the Bucknall campus pool. The party was an auction prize won at the Harker Family & Alumni Picnic in October and also celebrated the birthday of Shannon O’Shea, grade 8; thus the students also enjoyed cake and other refreshments in addition to swimming under the warm spring sun. Teachers Keith Hirota, Julie Pinzás, Rebecca Williams and Patricia Lai Burrows donated the package and put together this fun day for the kids. All photos by Jon
