A Message from Mrs. Hankins
Happy first day of spring! We kick off the spring vibes with a PTO sponsored event tomorrow night, Nature Night! We'll be here from 6-7:30 in the gym and it is all FREE!
I have had two educator friends stop by JSE within the last month and they were in awe of our school. Mrs. Schultz, an educator and aspiring administrator, stated that you can just feel the love pouring out from these walls as soon as you enter. She also popped into classrooms and noted the great small group instruction, the attention to children, and how kids and adults treated each other. She said, "This is really something special and incredible. Imagine if every school was like this!"
Dr. Cripe, with MESA, came by before her bullying presentation, and she walked the halls after school. As she popped into rooms and saw the building- even mostly empty- she noted the data driven concepts, the student centered displays, the warm welcome, and our Girls on the Run students working together. She said she can see this is a thriving community that supports it's teachers and puts students first.
I hope as you are reading this, you're beaming from ear to ear just as I was. This is a most wonderful space for love, learning, and growth and I am so glad that it pours out for others to see.
Keep being the amazing humans you all are, and I hope you enjoy time together over break!
