The Kansas State Department of Education is sponsoring a student led event created by senior leaders around Kansas. Senior Appreciation Day is this Wed., May 20. The USD 335 Class of 2020 is invited to participate in this celebration.
"Reading to the mind is what exercise is to the body," according to Joseph Addison. Scholastic Summer Read-A-Palooza is a free reading program where students can earn rewards and unlock book donations. Check it out at: https://www.scholastic.com/site/summer/home.html.
JHES paras, Krista Schloo and Samantha Wichman, enjoyed waving to students during Friday's parade. Fourth grade teachers, Mrs. Latham and Ms. McAlpine, decorated for the parade and enjoyed seeing past and present students. The 4th grade photo is courtesy of Barb Hutchinson.
