It is Hispanic Heritage Month, and third through fifth grade students learned about artist Frida Kahlo. We will be celebrating with a special spirit week next week, wrapping up with a cultural showcase including our international teachers- from Hispanic countries and around the world!
On October 10th, you are invited to join us as we celebrate Culture and Curriculum Night. JF Webb students will present songs and dances in their Hispanic Heritage month showcase and our own students will perform! We will have a variety of informational sessions, snacks, a scavenger hunt, and the book fair will be open. Our PTO will meet at 6:00, immediately following the event. Please RSVP on the flier we sent home and come join us!
PTO Fundraiser information went home on Thursday. This fundraiser will run through October 12th. The top seller will get $100! If we sell $15,000, the students can slime Ms. Bonnemere.
The fall book fair will be held from October 9 to October 13. The book fair is open to all students, parents, and guardians. Parents, don't forget to set up an e-wallet for your child on this website. The book fair will be open on Title One night, October 10th, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. If you have any questions, contact Jacqueline Sneed.
This week, students will be participating in an active shooter drill. It is unfortunate that we have to have this type of practice and screenings at our school, but it is critical to be prepared in case of an emergency. I strongly encourage parents to have a conversation with your child and remind them about the importance of taking this drill seriously. Prior to the drill, teachers will instruct students how to respond in an active shooter situation. If students or parents have questions or concerns, please reach out to me.
