A Message from Mrs. Hankins
Welcome back! I hope you had an enjoyable Spring Break. Below are a lot of pictures from our events before spring break. You'll also note that there are several events coming up to mark on your calendars. Please share out our Kindergarten Round Up information with anyone you know that has an incoming Kindergartener. We would love for them to be a JSE Lil' Bearcat!
And a friendly reminder: we have a short week as UTSC has Friday, April 7 off.
Have a terrific week,
Mrs. Hankins

Scholastic Book Fair Coming April 14-21
Friday, April 14, the book fair will be open during the PTO Fun Fair if you are wanting to come in and see for yourself. This is a great time to stock up on reading for the summer.
Below is a link to eWallet. This is an online wallet "gift card" in a sense that allows you to add money for your child to use. Any unused money can be saved for future book fair purchases, and anyone can help add money to the account. This is a great way to allow your child to shop without worrying about the money being lost. If you need any help setting this up, Mrs. Kegebein can assist you.
Happy shopping and reading!
