It is almost summer break so that means it is time for library BINGO! Have fun reading all summer long and earning BINGOs along the way. Here are this summer's rewards:
** Complete a reading log, and check out an additional library book each library class, all year long!
** If 60% of our JHE students submit a completed reading log we will have a Roof Reading marathon. Staff actually read on the roof all day long! Bingo sheets or Siouxland Public library sheets will be accepted.
** If 40% of our JHE students submit a reading log we will have a WACKY obstacle course for students designed by Mrs. Dobberpuhl.
Have fun reading all summer long!

Kindergarten students were treated to a fire safety puppet show this afternoon at John Harris Elementary. The show is sponsored by the Sioux Falls Fire Department, Avera, and the Washington Pavilion. Songs heard during the show included Stop, Drop and Roll, Never Play with Matches, Fire Alarms, Bath Water Safety, and the fire fighters are friendly so if they see them in the gear, come to them- don't hide!
