A Message from Mrs. Hankins
Happy Valentine's Week!
We have a lot of love going around at JSE as always. As you know, our motto is "You are LOVED at JSE." One of our kindergarteners, Kayden, keeps telling me, "I am JSE. I am Love." And isn't that just the best news to hear?! That's exactly my hopes and dreams for our children. That they find themselves loved, show love to others, and be the love.
Be like Kayden. Be like JSE. Be the love.
Have a great week,
Mrs. Hankins
