WELCOME BACK Scholars, families, and staff of Harding Elementary. My name is David Bermann and I have the privilege of leading the learning community at Harding Elementary. They say that there is no place like home and feel that I have been on this journey for many years… 34 to be exact.
I taught Physical Education at Harding for 18 years and was able to return to the school last year as the Assistant Principal. This past year I have been able to reconnect with families that I worked with when I was a teacher in the building and now their children are attending Harding. I have a strong support system that includes my wife Connie, my son Joshua, and daughter Marina. Without their support I would not have been able to reach my goals.
My vision and focus for this school year is for all scholars setting goals and working with the children and teachers to meet those goals. I want you and your scholars to feel safe in the school and able to grow academically, socially and emotionally. I need to make sure that all members of the learning community are accountable and understand that there are big things in the future.
There are many new additions to the school this year that include new people and new materials and programs. I look forward to meeting the new scholars and their families as they continue to grow academically.
“PAWS UP”
