We can't say enough about our dynamic duo in the office! Deb and Toni, we are so appreciative of the work you do for students, staff, and families!
This week first graders had the opportunity to learn some archery skills taught by the Outdoor Campus staff! Thanks to the parents who came out to support!
The stats are troubling-47% of SFSD students qualify for free/reduced lunches. Their family's income is not enough to make ends meet. That makes it difficult to support school fundraisers. Operation Hope & Caring helps! Get your tickets to the SF STORM game to support schools!
Congratulations to Mrs. Mediger for 25 years of teaching in the SFSD! Congratulations to Mrs. Schumacher on her retirement at the end of this school year!
Does your child have conflict resolution skills to solve everyday problems? Join us Tues, April 18 at 6pm to hear from SFSD & Avera Behavioral Health in this month's Family Forum Series segment. Watch for the link in your email. It's practical advice to strengthen families.
4th grade was so excited to share their country research during our World’s Fair on Friday! Thank you so much to everyone who was able to come and support our students!
Thursday morning was JHE's first monthly "Hero breakfast." The Hero breakfast was added to our PBIS system as a way to recognize students and parent volunteers that have exemplified the John Harris CORE values (Helpfulness, Excellence, Respect, Ownership).
Nominated by staff members, these students and parent volunteers became recipients of the "Honorable Harris HERO award, which was presented to each student and parent that was nominated.
Judge Jon Sogn was our guest speaker for the event. He shared a powerful message and this quote for the group to remember: "Good, better, best. Never let it rest. 'Til your good is better and your better is best."
We look forward to continuing this event in
the future!
