Registration for Penn-Harris-Madison’s Early Learning Preschool Academy for the 2017-2018 school year opens on Tuesday, January 17, 2017.  P-H-M’s Early Learning Academy is open to all area children and is not restrictive to P-H-M residency. However, children must be 4-years-old on or before September 1, 2017.

The research-based program focuses on building children’s strong foundations for school success focusing on cognitive learning through a variety of tools. Preschoolers spend time in role-play, which has shown to lead to higher measures of creativity and cognition.

Our preschool program is offered at two locations … here at Horizon, as well as at Mary Frank Elementary School.

If you wish to enroll your child at the Horizon location, please visit our front office during normal school hours of 7:55 a.m. – 2:20 p.m., Monday-Friday. Click here to download and print the application. The registration fee of $60 is due with the application.

Thank you for helping others this holiday season! 

Students were given the treat of having Mr. Rick Glassman, Environmental Education Coordinator, come to Horizon and inform students about things about the environment to enhance their Scientific learning. The students always look forward to seeing Mr. Glassman and the humorous way he introduces scientific concepts. 

Kindergarten students were introduce to “Jethro”, a character of Mr. Glassman’s creation. 

1^st grade students discussed Earthworms and their role in our ecosystem. 2^nd Grade students discussed insects and how vital they are to the circle of life . 3^rd grade students talked about Invasive Species and the toll they take on the environment in our area. 4^th grade students talked about the different types of soils in Indiana  and 5^th grade students talked about Wetland Life. 

Mr. Glassman will be back in February.
