Last week was a big week at JHE! Read Across America brought a variety of activities/dress up days! Book Battles were a great success!
It was energizing to have future JHE kindergartners in the building for kindergarten registration. They will be the class of 2036! Can you believe it?! Thank you to the 5th grade helpers that served as "tour guides," helping point families in the right direction. They were so busy...I couldn't get pictures of all of them. We look forward to officially welcoming the new kindergartners in August of 2023!
If you have a child who will be turning 5 on or before Sept. 1, 2023, it’s time to start thinking about Kindergarten Registration! Registration opened on February 1st, and this is an opportunity to come check out your child’s new school!
Thank you for JHE PTO for providing cupcakes in recognition of the Teacher of the Year nominees and the entire JHE staff!
Save the date for the JHE Art Show! Mark your calendars!
Next week is "Read Across America" Week!
