The JHE Art Show is coming up in exactly three week! We hope that you can make it!

5th grade families,
If your child is going to Patrick Henry next year...see the attached flyer!
The weather can't quite make up its mind, but that hasn't stopped these fifth graders from enjoying recess!
We love JHE alumni! Mrs. Kielman caught up with two of her former students at last Friday's assembly!
Thank you to everyone who participated and recorded their reading!
We ended the Everybody Reads campaign with a grand total of 37,513 books recorded! Truly amazing! Way to go John Harris!
You are invited to the JHE World Fair, hosted by the 4th grade students. See the attached flyer for specifics! We'd love for you to come!

5th grade families:
Have a 5th grader attending Ben Reifel next year? Please refer to the posted flyers for more information regarding the "Surviving Middle School" event coming up on April 4th!
It's the final week for Everybody Reads 2023. We can meet our goal JHE! Families/students have been putting forth a great effort. Let's make a strong push until the end of the month!
Today is Mrs. Stolp and Toby's birthday! This morning we threw a little celebration in the library. Toby was grateful for the treats, extra pets, and well wishes!
We are thankful for our "buddy rooms!" Many of our classrooms partner with another room, often a primary and intermediate class, to read, problem-solve, or complete special projects!
Last Friday, K03 and 505 became detectives to find hidden objects. Of course, they had to wear their disguises!
105 and 404 braved the cold for a sledding party!
SFSD would like to give a huge shout-out to our partners at Delta Dental who visit schools to complete much-needed dental work for eligible students! Cleanings, cavities, and root canals are all done in the mobile bus, so students don’t have to miss school for an appointment! You put a smile on our faces, Delta Dental! Thank you!
Last Friday, St. Patrick's day, students spent a portion of the their library time working together to create Leprechaun traps!
