It's a Marvelous Monday at JSE!
Our students were thrilled to visit the JSE media center last week and check-out their first books of the school year. We strive for students to choose high interest, challenging reading material. Mrs. Kegebein, our Media Aide does an excellent job of getting to know student interests and purchasing books accordingly. Please feel free to e-mail her if you are looking for a specific topic or book. Thank you for building reading time into your nightly routine! READ for 20!
Our annual literacy event with Mrs. Barnes is on the calendar for September 19th from 6-7pm in our media center. This year's event is titled, "Books and Brownies with Mrs. Barnes for all our friends!" We are partnering with our WHS football players again! This is always a great family event focused on literacy.
JOIN US: The first PTO meeting is next Tuesday, the 4th evening at 6pm, all JSE parents are welcome. Help shape your child's school experience for the better by helping our PTO in various ways. A PTO monthly newsletter will follow each meeting!
