Miss Adaline Harkness, a fourth grade teacher, will be headed to Rees Elementary to teach second grade. Miss Harkness was an intern this year and was amazing teaching her fourth graders. Miss Harkness is patient, kind and knowledgeable. Rees is getting a really great teacher. We wish her all the best!
