News from Mr. Parkhurst<br />
What a beautiful Opening Day! The sun was<br />
out, students were smiling and teachers were<br />
ready to welcome all to the <strong>2012</strong>-2013 school<br />
year. It had a celebratory feel and what could be<br />
better. We are so fortunate to have such a<br />
dedicated group of staff members to work with<br />
your children each and every day. They make<br />
JHS a unique and special place. Thank you for<br />
sending us your children; they bring life into what<br />
has been a quiet building during the summer.<br />
The building had a new life today and it is<br />
refreshing to see and hear their excitement. Let’s<br />
hope that each and every day brings this same<br />
level of excitement to make learning come alive.<br />

Special thanks to kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Kate<br />
Fleming and her family for their endless summer work<br />
cleaning out and sprucing up our front garden. This<br />
required a great deal of time, money and energy; all<br />
donated by the Fleming family. Pictured below is<br />
Mrs. Barry’s first grade class enjoying one of the first<br />
few days of school reading adjacent to this wonderful<br />
new garden in front of <strong>Jerome</strong> <strong>Harrison</strong> <strong>School</strong>.<br />
