Good Evening, JSE Families,
We know our kids are definitely feeling the hustle and bustle that is this joyful season...it must be all the giddiness over GIVING during December at JSE! Last week, our students frequented the PTO holiday shop. An impressive round of applause to our parent volunteers for all their behind the scenes efforts and work creating a memorable experience for our students. We take time in each classroom to talk about the many ways we can give far beyond the gift of material things!
GIVING this Week: Thank you for supporting your children in demonstrating our life skill of giving by participating in Bomb the Grinch activities this week.
The 2nd grading period ends the Friday before winter break, please check your child's academic progress in Harmony and ask them how close they are to reaching their AR goal. There is still time to reach that goal, read for 20 nightly!
Proud of our JSE Family this season and always,
Leigh Barnes
Principal
Ms. Melton's Class in the SPOTLIGHT!
