Our Upper School presented the premier production of The Cookie Heist, written and produced by Katie Oberlander during our March Experience Weeks this year. Elaine Rombola-Aveni produced it with video recordings by CG Go, Story Hauk, Jen Reynolds and Tyler Reynolds. It was edited by Elaine Rombola-Aveni and Tyler Reynolds. The resulting video is a composite of several camera angles, and of both performances. A true community effort!
Join our Harborlight community to march in the North Shore Pride Parade! Please arrive at Shetland Park (Salem, MA) by 11:30 am and look for the Harborlight banner. The Shetland Park Properties parking lot is located at 27 Congress St. You are allowed to park in the back of this parking lot or any other lots in the area if that should get full. Please try to wear bright colors if you can and we should have some face paint, flags and beads to add to the fun! The parade starts at noon, and the route is 1 mile long through downtown Salem, ending at the Salem Common. Please note that the parade and festival have no rain dates, so come prepared to march in pride rain or shine! No RSVP is necessary for this event, but if you have any questions, please contact Camille Crawford (camille.maude@gmail.com) or Hiro Sudachi (hsudachi@harborlight.net). We hope to see everyone there!

Thank you to all of our amazing volunteers who helped make the Cultural Festival such a success. We had ten amazing "houses" where guests could explore and engage in a variety of cultures and geographical locales. Our Middle School students also shared work they completed about Archaeological Theft. It is always so wonderful to see our community coming together to celebrate each other's traditions, heritage, and cultures. The drum circle with Greg Cole further united our guests and gave opportunity for students, parents, caregivers, and staff to unite through music and African drumming.
Kindergarten, 3rd grade, and 6th grade students will receive a certificate as they complete either the Children's House, Lower Elementary, or Upper Elementary program. Parents welcome.
