Warren G. Harding Middle School

Our school will not be open on Friday for meal pickup. Please visit phila.gov/food to find another convenient location to pick up meals on Friday.

Early Sunday morning, Harding student Sadeek Clark-Harrison's life was cut short. His family is in need of funding to cover funeral expenses. The cost of services should be the last thing that Sadeek's family has to worry about. Please consider donating to help Sadeek's family reach the goal of $5,000.

If you're struggling during the coming days, know that you're not alone. The Philly Hope Line will remain open to support the community; just call or text 833-745-4673.

Next week, join us for a Spirit Week!

Early Sunday morning, Harding lost one of our Hawks to the gun violence that is ravishing our city. Our school community extends our deepest condolences to Sadeek’s family and friends.

Hey Harding parents! CVS is coming to several local schools during the next month to provide immunizations for students who are not up to date. Pennsylvania law requires that all students who are attending school virtually must be up to date on their immunizations by 11/02/20; after that, students will be marked absent until they have received their vaccines! See the attached flyer for more information, or register at the website below: https://flc.philasd.org//cvs-and-school-district-of-phila/
