Harford County SNA

Harford County SNA is diligently working on meeting
ideas and events for next school year anticipating more
“in person” activities. We are excited to be getting
back to “normal”, planning pre-pandemic favorites like
content area guest speakers, card-signing, Bingo and the
end-of-year picnic. The ending of this difficult year is
bitter sweet –many have experienced losses and are still
grieving. Knowing that we made it through, working
together, feeding more students than ever before,
makes it oh-so-sweet.
