Harvey, ND

The Harvey Area Community Foundation has been established with the assistance of the ND Community Foundation.  The board members threw a “kick-off” event at the First Lutheran Church on December 9th, 2007.  This coincided with the Centennial Singers event.  The ministerial association did a free will offering to raise funds for the association.   Anyone interested in more information should contact Kim Moen at kim@harveynd.com or 701-324-2000.  The money raised and put into this fund will stay in the community.

On September 15th FCCLA kids collected food for the food pantry. They listened to speakers at the Harvey High School and watched the Pursuit of Happiness. After the movie, they took boxes and blankets to the football field to camp outside for the night. At 6:00 in the morning, they all had muffins and hot chocolate. It was a great learning experience and many FCCLA students got to know what its like to be homeless.

So this summer the choir class is going to be taking a trip to chicago. We are taking a charter bus the entire way, and a lot of things await us in Chicago. We will be leaving on May 28th, and coming back early June. We will be attending loads of fun activities, including museums, parks, malls(heehee), water aquariums, a medieval dinner, we will be attending a cubs game, and even going to see the play “Wicked”! We are fund raising to help us out financially. We have sold tickets for a February calendar raffle, and are having a spring pops concert on the 24th of February. So if you don’t have any big plans, plan to attend the pops concert, and don’t forget to come a little early to support us with our soup and sandwich lunch beforehand to fund raise for FFA, FFCLA, the choir group, FBLA,ect. It should be a good time!! We hope to see you there!

The Harvey Science Club got a new edition to the family. The club got some fish, four sea stars, and a few crab/crayfish. They aquarium is quite entertaining, the kids seem to like it. More toward the beginning of the year the science club went to the Minot Zoo that was a fun time there.

It was really quite nice. The next morning we got up early and went to Bottineau’s Ski Resort at 9:00 a.m. and stayed until about 1:30 before we left for Harvey.

The Harvey CYO group (Catholic Youth Organization) went on a ski trip from December 29 to January 30 in Bottineau, North Dakota. The group departed at 10:00 a.m. and arrived at Camp Metigoshe where they went sledding, skating, and played games. They stayed overnight there and the next morning they had a Prayer Service. After the Prayer Service they ate breakfast and then left for the Bottineau Ski Resort. It was a lot of fun and everyone seemed to have had a good time.
