Harrisburg R-VIII School District

Today is School Maintenance Appreciation Day and we are blessed with the best. The admin team had this to say about our crew: “Our maintenance team is the best around. Each of them truly cares about making Harrisburg the best possible school for our students, and that really shows in their work ethic every single day. We appreciate the flexibility, effort and craftsmanship our maintenance team puts into our buildings and facilities. They have a wide variety of skills that not only help keep our schools functioning, but in top condition. Matt, Rob, and Clark thank you for all you do for our students, teachers, and community.” We also want to give a big shoutout to our 2024-25 high school staff of Bryce Ott, Caleb Sager, and Jayson Eskew who kept our grounds looking great through the summer mowing season and to Ryder Crites who has worked tirelessly alongside our maintenance staff through these brutal winter days to clear our parking lots and sidewalks. #BulldawgPride

TEACHER FEATURE TUESDAY: Today’s featured teacher is Mrs. Sydney Lukefahr. Mrs. Lukefahr joined the Harrisburg staff this school year as our 4th and 5th grade Learning Specialist. Before becoming a Bulldog, Mrs. Lukefahr taught 6th grade special education in the East Prairie School District. When we asked her team to share about Sydney, they were quick to respond: “Sydney is a phenomenal addition to the 4-5 team. She came to Harrisburg with so much knowledge. She has created phenomenal relationships with her students who often seek her presence even during recess time. She is extremely dedicated to serving her students and prioritizing their learning.” - Tessia Balke, 5th Grade teacher “Sydney has been a wonderful addition to our team. In her short time in the district Sydney has worked hard to build relationships with students, colleagues and in the community. Mrs. Lukefahr is hard working and always well prepared. We are glad to have her as part of our team.” - Gabe Burris, Elementary Principal “Sydney is constantly sharing ideas and strategies to help engage and support all learners. Her collaboration is key to ensuring our students are successful. We recently had an abundance of indoor recess days. It was evident to see the positive way she has impacted students by witnessing the number of students that wanted to go to her room for indoor recess. Her door is always open to students and teachers. She has been an uplifting, involved, and inspiring addition to our school.” - Sarah Earlywine, 5th Grade teacher “Sydney brings such a positive attitude to each day. She is constantly finding ways to lift up those around her by sharing bounty from her own garden, baking yummy treats, or offering a listening ear and ideas to problem solve. She has made relationships quickly with students and they adore her!” - Corrine Hill, 4th Grade teacher Thank you, Mrs. Lukefahr for the many ways you are positively impacting the students of Harrisburg Elementary. We are very fortunate to have you on our team! #BulldawgPride
