recap USMom’s Happy Hour Held Feb. 28
Special Benefactors’ Advisory Forum
Summer Camp Faire Hosted Feb. 27 Harker once again hosted the annual Summer Camp Faire, a Bay Area-wide event held in conjunction with the American Camping Association (ACA). Over 40 camps representing both resident and day programs for students of all ages were represented in booths that filled the Bucknall gym. The event, which is open to families from throughout the Bay Area, provides parents the opportunity to go to one event and learn about the variety of options offered to children during the summer.

At the annual Benefactors’ Advisory Forum held on March 11, parents who are members of Harker's Benefactors’ Circle, and the administration, discussed current school issues and news, as well as plans for the future. Energetic and talented student entertainers from Harmonics, Orchestra and Dance were shining stars who helped make the evening very special. The administration extends sincere thanks to the generous Benefactors’ Circle members for their continued commitment and support.
US moms wanted to have fun—and did—at their first Friday evening social at ElTorito’s in Cupertino at the end of February. About 30 Harker moms dropped in at the end of their busy days for appetizers, beverages and casual visiting. Several tables lingered over spurof-the-moment dinner in the true spirit of a “mom’s night out!” Rumor has it that this group will plan more events like this, so stay tuned!
Organized each year by Kelly Espinosa, Harker’s summer camp director, the event was attended by approximately 250 families. “As usual, many parents came by the Harker table to ask questions and register for our terrific programs,” she said. “Harker has a great reputation for quality programs, staff and facilities.” Espinosa added that if Harker families haven’t signed up yet, they should do so quickly since programs are filling fast. Contact the summer offices for more information, or go to the Harker Web site. K-8 programs: cindig@harker.org. Gr. 912 programs: jadab@harker.org.
