Executive Director

Harmony School is excited to announce InterACTION, an all-school art show on Friday, April 3, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Fountain Square (101 W Kirkwood Avenue). Along the path of Bloomington's First Friday Gallery Walk, this event features "art in motion" where visitors can both experience and help create the works!

InterACTION revolves around two central themes: interaction and movement. With these in mind, Bloomington artists like Joel Washington, Elizabeth Blackwell, and many more will be working closely with Harmony students through the month of March to help them put together unique displays that engage both their creativity and viewers. Students are creating interactive displays from Warhol-inspired balloons to custom crankie boxes and invite the community to experience their hard work firsthand.

March is Harmony School’s Beebe Kaleidoscope Month, in which students engage in a triannual rotation of STEM, Multicultural Exploration, and Art concluding in the art show on April 3rd. Caroline Beebe was a sparkling personality who joined Harmony Elementary as a founding teacher in 1977. To honor her legacy, we have established the Beebe Kaleidoscope Month to celebrate these principles.

This is a completely FREE event and we encourage you to invite friends and family to come and be a part of it!

For more information about the show and Beebe Kaleidoscope Month, go to the InterACTION page or follow us on social media! (harmonyschoolbloomington)

We hope to see you there!

Linda has been a staple of Harmony since she joined us in 1993 and established our Early Childhood Program, which has seen countless young students prepare to begin their academic journey. She is an active member of both the Bloomington and Harmony School community; you can often find her helping at the Rasta Pops cart, owned by her and her husband, at local markets and events. Linda values play-based learning all the way through Kindergarten and advocates for preserving early childhood as a time for joy and discovery.

This month, local radio station B97 has selected Linda to be their February Feature Teacher. Tune in to hear more about the impact she has made during her time at Harmony School. 

Thanks to Linda, Harmony has been able to continue empowering young students and prepare them to be active participants in their communities. We're thrilled to see her hard work recognized by the community and are proud to have her as part of the Harmony family!

We are thrilled to catch up with Harmony alumnus Caden Walden (Class of 2024), who is currently making waves at Indiana University! In January, Caden was elected by his peers to take on the role of Parliamentarian for the IU Student Government (IUSG), a position dedicated to ensuring meetings run smoothly and follow proper procedure through an in-depth knowledge of the IUSG constitution and bylaws.

Caden’s journey into student leadership began with a desire to advocate for his peers and step outside his home base at the Luddy School. "I wanted to make a greater impact and advocate for the things that I thought mattered most to students," Caden shared. His dedication even led him to join a campaign team for the student body presidential tickets in the most recent election.

Reflecting on his time here, Caden credits Harmony School for teaching him the importance of community and social action. "Harmony showed me that students can, and should, have a say in what goes on at their school," he said. "If we can work together, we can make a difference."

We are so proud to see Caden carrying the Harmony spirit of advocacy and community leadership into his university career. Way to go, Caden!
