SJES February Newsletter

A Note From the Head of School
"Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." -Psalm 27:14, NIV
"You too, be patient and stand firm, becuase the Lord's coming is near." -James 5:8, NIV
My hope for us all here at SJES is that during this month of February, we can come together and celebrate the wonderful love Jesus has shown us. We can slow down and enjoy each other's presence and be thankful for the opportunity to be together. That we can celebrate time spent with our families, sheltered from these cold and wintery days. Let us wait. Wait for God to change the seasons in and around us.
With so much love,
Taylor Jones
SJES Head of School
📣 2024 Spring School Fundraiser! 📣
March 23rd, SJES will be hosting our school fundraiser, a Car Boot Sale! It's like a garage sale....but BETTER! 🤩
Anyone interested in setting up their boot (the trunk of your vehicle 😉), a table or two, and a tent will have the option to rent parking lot spaces. There you'll be able to sell any lightly used clothing, toys, decor, household items, or stuff you're just ready to purge straight to community members. What's even better...you'll keep all the proceeds of your sales! To sign up, please fill out the bottom portion of the attached Seller Registration Form and return it to the office with your form of payment. The sooner you sign up for your parking spots, the closer you'll land to in coming customers. First come first serve!
🚗Our fundraiser goal is to have at least 20 family/community members sign their boot up!🚗
If you are not interested in selling any items, that's okay! Plan on coming out that morning to do a little bargain shopping instead! The Car Boot Sale will begin at 8AM and conclude at noon. We will have a food truck available to enjoy while you shop! French Corner of Conroe will have her breakfast menu available via her French cuisine food truck. See you there!!! 🤩
