Johnson Newsletter

Thank you to everyone for doing the quick switch to eLearning on Friday. Thankfully, we were spared from damaging weather; seeing the devastation in other parts of our country, makes me feel incredibly grateful our community and school family are safe. Thank you to our district leadership for being cautious with our students' safety.

We have a busy week ahead at Johnson Elementary! We are rescheduling last Friday's HERO reward party for this Friday, and we have visitors coming to share knowledge and information with students.

Finally...boys' basketball and cheerleading sign-ups have been extended to Monday night. If you have a child interested in participating, do not miss this deadline. Here is the registration link: Boys' Basketball Registration and Cheerleading.

Everyone, have a wonderful week!

4-H is coming to talk to our 3-5 grade students about opportunities that are available through 4-H. The philosophy of 4-H is based on the idea that young people learn best through hands-on experiences and working with caring adults.

Learning by doing

• 4-H's educational philosophy is based on the idea that young people learn best when they are involved in their learning.

• 4-H programs focus on developing life skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and citizenship.

• 4-H programs help young people develop confidence, learn to work with others, and persevere through challenges.

• 4-H programs rely on volunteers to provide quality youth development programming.

• 4-H programs focus on positive youth development through structured out-of-school time learning, leadership experiences, and adult mentoring.
