Thank you!

Many of you know that I will be moving at the end of this school year and starting on some new adventures in Pittsburgh, PA. Thank you for a wonderful year--I truly enjoyed the opportunity to work with you and talk history. Please feel free to be in touch at any time, if I can ever be of help. Any of the usual crew of social studies teachers will know how to find me, or email me using the form to the right.

Have wonderful summers, read lots of books, and keep in touch!

-Ms. Harris
