Bucket-Filling Trait: Gratitude
It's a Great Day to be a JSE Bearcat!
Students and families proudly honored our Veterans and active service men and woman during our Veterans Day Program this morning. We thank Veterans and their families, the JSE Choir, the Scouts, the community, and the PTO for their support! Students and staff proudly covered the gym with R.E.D for Remember Everyone Deployed, thank you for helping your child find a little red to wear.
As we embark on what can be a busy season we take time to be grateful for the experiences of our students at JSE! I feel fortunate to be a part of a staff, PTO and community that takes time to create these experiences and most importantly, realizes experiences and involvement grow our children!
- Friendsgiving Candlelight lunch is in the planning stages. The perfect event to be thankful for friends, family, and our JSE staff.
- Family Events: This Thursday we will host a Nature and Wildlife Family Learning Night.
- Gratitude to our JSE choir and Mrs. Willis for her leadership. Our choir represents JSE at school wide and community events. Circle the State singers have started their rehearsals at UCE after-school.
- We wish our Spell Bowl team and expert coach Mrs. Koch good luck next Monday evening at the Spell Bowl competition.
- Our Girls Who Code Club continues every Wednesday to promote STEM and leadership in our future leaders.
With gratitude,
Mrs. Barnes
