Harlan is an Albany resident with children in GAPS schools. Upon accepting the offer for the position, she said, “I am so glad to serve a district that has served my family so well.”

During tonight’s School Board meeting, Acting Superintendent Tonja Everest praised fourth-grade students in Mrs. Elizabeth Mann’s class for their artwork, on display in the boardroom.

The colorful art used an art technique called pointillism, in which dots of color are applied in patterns to make an image.

Thirty-one pieces of student art are hanging on the wall. Thank you, Timber Ridge students!
