| Fourth & Fifth Grade Field Trip |
|
In December, the 4th and 5th grades had the opportunity to take a field trip to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. We had an absolute blast going through the different exhibits and soaking in all of the information that we could. From the amazing planeterium where we got to learn about the history of our earth to the imagination center where the students got to create and play with numerous inventions, to the imax where we viewed an informative movie on tornado alley, a wonderful experience was had by all!

| High School A Christmas Carol Field Trip 12-6-11 |
|
On Tuesday, December 6, 2011, the high school students concluded a theatre unit with a field trip to the Kalita Humphrey’s Theatre in Dallas. To kick off the holiday season, the students dressed in their best to see A Christmas Carol, a play adapted from the acclaimed novel written by Charles Dickens in the nineteenth century. The thirty high school students, along with three teachers, Mrs. Holloway, Mrs. Schubert, and Mr. Knight, and two parents, enjoyed the enthralling ghost story of Ebenezer Scrooge, who was visited on Christmas Eve by three spirits. By the end of the play, Scrooge’s wretched character was changed into an enthusiastically friendly man who gave back to the community around him. The crowd laughed at Scrooge’s “Ba humbug,” cried at Tiny Tim’s “God bless us, everyone,” and jumped at the eerie ghost guests. The field trip was not only entertaining for students, teachers, and parents, but also allowed the students to experience diversity within their culture.

| Juniors California Trip |
|
On November 20th, nine junior students with three chaperones took four days trip to California. The trip included college tours. First college we toured was Caltech (California Institute of Technology). Caltech always places at the top of lists of the country's best engineering schools. With its high admissions standards, small size and 3:1 student-faculty ratio, it's easy to see why. Next stop on the tour was UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles). This school was one of the most beautiful campuses we’ve ever seen. Our juniors really liked all of the student activities going on around it and some of them decided to apply to UCLA. After the college tours, students enjoyed visiting famous places in Los Angeles, including Hollywood Hills, Universal Studios, Beverly Hills, Hollywood Boulevard and Pacific Ocean.

| Austin Capitol Visit |
|
Several of our students at the award-winning Harmony Science Academy in Grand Prairie were honored at the State Capitol in Austin on March 26, 2011. We met with our State Representative, Rodney Anderson. The students were able to ask him questions and find out about this prestigious position in our state legislature. They were very impressed to find that it takes a lot of hard work, time and dedication despite very little pay. Representative Anderson is very passionate about helping his fellow Texans. He honored our students on the floor by reading a resolution that included the academic achievements of our students. He also expressed how important it is to stand behind what you believe in. These students were also honored by our State Senator, Chris Harris, by acknowledging our presence in the gallery during our visit. This is where the senators meet and vote on the various state issues that are brought forth. This was a fun, educational and eventful trip for these future leaders.

| Perfect SAT Score at Harmony |
L. Lin, 11th grade student at Harmony School of Advancement-Houston, received a perfect score of 2,400 on SAT after scoring another perfect score in PSAT earlier this year. Receiving a perfect score on SAT is a tough nut to crack. It is a rare accomplishment that was achieved by only a handful of students. A perfect score is 2,400 points. Approximately 1,000,000 students take the SAT each year and on average, only 20 of them get a perfect score. The SAT has three sections and three scores (Writing, Math, and Critical Reading) each on a scale of 200 to 800. The average total score is approximately 1,538 points. An average score is acceptable for most colleges and universities. However, some of the top schools will expect you to achieve an SAT score of 2,100 of more. A score above 2,100 puts you in the 90th percentile, meaning that you scored better on the test than 90% of test takers. Most top American colleges (Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, etc.) are looking for scores above the 90th percentile of all that year’s test-takers.
Harmony family congratulates Leon for this great feat.
