Last Friday was our PBIS March Madness celebration! Members of the WHS girls' team and the LHS boys' team joined JHE students in a morning of fun and friendly competition. Coaches from the teams emphasized the HERO skills that our students live daily.
4th grade invited other students and their families into our classrooms on Friday for a ‘World’s Fair.’ They wanted to share their research and Google Slideshows on the countries of the world! We are so proud of all of their hard work!
It was such a pleasure to have Ben Reifel Music Groups perform at John Harris last Wednesday afternoon! Thank you to the students and the directors. JHE loved the performances!
