When it comes to our students and your children, endings often remind us of the beginnings. We think about where we started- skills we've learned and memories we've made. Children aren't the only ones that change and grow. Adults invested in the lives of JHE students learn from them and from one another. Hurricane Heroes help make each other better!

The year flew by as they always do. It was fitting to see families gathered on the playground as that is how we started the school year- with excitement and big emotions.

We are grateful to be John Harris Elementary- the families, students, and staff!

We wish our community a wonderful summer. We will see you in the fall!

On Monday, counselors from Patrick Henry and Ben Reifel Middle Schools visited 5th graders to start preparing them for middle school. On Tuesday, students visited their middle schools. Students were given tours by 8th grade Web Leaders who answered questions and shared the important information 5th graders need to know about middle school.

We're going to miss this crew of kids!
