100th day activities in K02 and 403!
Reading buddies 403 and 101 got together for some 100th day activities. 501 and 205 spent a portion of their buddy time making Super Bowl predictions!
It was an eventful day at John Harris! Many kids dressed like they were 100 (100th day of school) and many wore jerseys (Jersey day)!
John Harris staff would like to extend a big thank you to JHE PTO for providing a meal to staff on Monday and to all of the families that provided a meal on Thursday. It was delicious! We are so grateful!
Every day is a GREAT day in SFSD classrooms! Thursday was extra special as Supt. Stavem and Board Member Marc Murren surprised six educators by naming them finalists for the Dr. John W. Harris Teacher of the Year Award! Please join us in congratulating these amazing educators!
Reminder: All Pro Dad tomorrow morning at 7:15 in the gym. Hope to see you there!

4th Grade T-Shirt Designs!
We have some very talented 4th graders who used their artistic skills to design water bottle stickers and a T-shirt as a way for us to help students in need at our school. This "help" could be in the form of gas cards, grocery cards, clothes, winter outerwear, tennis shoes or whatever the need may be.
Sometimes families fall on hard times and the staff and students at John Harris brainstormed to come up with a way to help ease the burden for people we care about.
Stickers of the winning design will be for sale during Conferences on Thursday, February 9th in the Multipurpose Room for $2.00
Below is a link to the T-shirt store. As you "shop", be mindful of 2 different designs, 3 colors to choose from, and Adult and Youth sizes. The DEADLINE to purchase is February 20th at 11:59 p.m.
