Nick Harms

May 7, 1953 - December 30, 2020

Nicholas "Nick" Harms - Husband, Dad, Grandpa, Old Man, Papa, Pop, Pops, and Daddy ... one of the most gentle, tender hearted, loving, kind, awesome, faithful, devoted, determined, fighters who was tough, strong willed, patient, witty, intelligent, and resourceful. He was a leader of the Harms family and the number one guy that we turned to when looking to navigate life's road.

Unfortunately, the Kit Carson School District is not immune to the COVID-19 situation. The district has quarantined approximately 13 students and two staff members due to an exposure to a positively tested person. This was done out of an abundance of caution and all students will be remote learning until their return. 

Again, we encourage parents to keep students home if they are showing any symptoms and to call the school to let us know that your child will be remote learning during these short periods of absences. 

Funeral services for Kaylee Gerstner will be held Wednesday, December 9, 2020.
