Your Weekly Update from Johnson Elementary School
Principal's Message
Dear Johnson Families,
Here at Johnson, we celebrated “Teacher Appreciation Week” from May 5 - 12. I would like to publicly thank each of our teachers for the excellent work that they do on behalf of our students. Our teachers are creative, dedicated, and very talented at what they do. I also want to thank Melissa Augustine, Shannon Carlson, PTO Officers, and JES parent volunteers for the wonderful “Trip Around the World” provided for our teachers and staff. During lunch times, our Johnson PTO provided a delicious luncheon, beverages, snacks, desserts, and other treats representing different culinary themes from around the world. It was a much appreciated surprise, without any jetlag!
National School Nurse Day was celebrated this past Wednesday, May 10. This day of recognition has been set-aside since 1972 to foster a better understanding of the role of school nurses in the educational setting. This specialized practice advances the well-being, academic success and life-long achievements of students. Thank you to Ms. Kristin Gilbert, our school nurse for all that you do for each of us here at Johnson.
Warm regards,
John
