🎉☀️ What a way to celebrate the last day of school at Henry Johnson Charter School! ☀️🎉

Our scholars wrapped up an incredible school year with an action-packed Field Day filled with fun, laughter, and unforgettable memories. From exciting games and activities to delicious treats, it was the perfect way to kick off summer break!

A special highlight of the day was the cotton candy, popcorn, and snow cones provided by Three Sisters Party Co. 🍿🍧🍭

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Raymour & Flanigan for their generous donation that made these treats possible, and to Darnell Holloway, stepfather of Jacob and J’merie, for helping bring this opportunity to our school community. Your kindness and support helped make our scholars’ last day extra special.

Thank you to our families, staff, supporters, and scholars for another amazing year of learning, growth, and achievement. Have a safe, fun, and relaxing summer, Bulldogs! ❤️🐾

Sweet smiles were everywhere at HJCS yesterday!

Our scholars enjoyed a special Ice Cream Day thanks to the generosity of Stewart's Shops, who donated ice cream and make-your-own-sundae kits for our school community. Everyone had a chance to create their perfect treat and celebrate together.

Thank you, Stewart's Shops for helping make today extra special for our scholars!
