Preschoolers learn about Howard Nichols, his cookies and his caring heart

One of Harker’s most cherished traditions is that of handing out chocolate chip cookies on former Head of School Howard Nichols’ birthday, Oct. 10. Nichols was renowned for handing out cookies in lieu of disciplinary measures for minor infractions, and for always having a cookie jar in his office to make chocolate chip cookies available to anyone who wanted one. The children in Harker Preschool’s Clover Cottage were really excited to celebrate Nichols’ birthday today. They learned that Nichols always made sure to pick up any trash that he saw, had a caring heart and shared warm chocolate chip cookies with others.
