The second graders in Mrs. Hayzlett's room did their best mathematical thinking with some geometry this week. 5th graders in Mrs. Robert's classroom worked through a STEM and community building activity titled "Helping Harry."
There is no school Friday, September 2nd - Monday, September 5th due to the Labor Day holiday. We will see students back at school on Tuesday, September 6th. Have a great weekend!
We are fortunate to have three generations working at John Harris Elementary... Mrs. Stolp, Mrs. Mediger, and Ms. Mediger!
It was a great first day at John Harris. We enjoyed seeing the families on the playground to start the day. Our teams of teachers have worked hard to kick off the school year. Classrooms were buzzing with energy as positive classroom communities were being built. We're ready for another day tomorrow!
The John Harris PTO provided a nice opportunity for parents to connect at the "Boo Hoo Yahoo Breakfast!"
It was a beautiful day for shaved ice, courtesy of Lucy Henglefelt and family. Thank you Lucy!
Thank you JHE PTO and families for the back to school breakfast that awaits our staff. We are eager to begin another great year at JHE!
Here are a few more Hurricane Hero pictures from open house!
The John Harris Elementary back-to-school open house was a great success! Our Hurricane Hero, who will be named by students this year, was making his way through the hallways to greet families and connect with students. We so enjoyed seeing families connect with our staff.
We would like to extend a big thank you to Southern Hills for providing the John Harris Elementary community with hot dogs, chips, and water during our open house. We are grateful to have them as community partners!
John Harris staff members had an engaging morning of learning in preparation for the return of students!
