Activity Challenge Week
May 18th - May 24th is Activity Challenge Week. While we can't have a jog-a-thon; we can celebrate activity together. Here's what we need you to do.
1. Promote this with your families! If we log 120,000 minutes I will dump ice water on my head! I will send out the survey on Sunday, May 24th for families to log their minutes. Here is the link: Activity Minutes
2. Place photos of yourself and students in the google folder to be included in school slideshow.

Great things are happening at JME
Regina, Jenika, and many others have made many trips to get the room next door to Dorothy looking amazing!!!!
Hannah stepped in today and ran an IEP meeting without hesitation and she did a fabulous job.
Our IA's are amazing! Making flipgrids, youtube videos, researching activities, they just don't stop!
Regina, Alissa, & Maria went above and beyond to connect and support a family.
I don't know what is coming next, but I know we will succeed and survive because of the teams we have at JME!
Thank you everyone for supporting our students, community, and each other!
