April Happenings
John Hancock Charter School April 2019
Spring Weather
We are so happy to see signs of spring all around us. However, as you all know, living in Utah means that the weather changes often. Please continue to send your child with warm outdoor clothing. Students will continue to go outside as long as it is not raining or under 20 degrees.
Students need to get outside to run and play. It is essential to their overall well-being. Please help us by sending them to school ready to enjoy the outdoors.
Join us for Classic Skate Night
Classic Skate Night is this Friday, April 12th from 5-9pm at Classic Fun Center in Orem. Admission is free, however you need to pay for any rentals including skates and the other activities.
Earth Day / JHCS Campus Beautification Day
Friday, April 19th is our Annual Earth Day at JHCS. Students will help clean and beautify the campus that day. All students are allowed to wear modest street clothes because they will be cleaning and helping with light yard work.
