It's a Great Day to be a JSE Bearcat!
Rested and rejuvenated, students hustled in the school house this morning excited to return. It makes us all feel good to get those, "together again" and "I missed you" hugs and high fives.
THANK YOU! A huge shout-out to parents who volunteered and sent in items for classroom fall parties and who plan to help our PTO this Friday. Smiles, laughs, and joyful screams although some were a little spooky, could be, and will be again this Friday, heard through our schoolhouse!
This week we celebrate our students reaching and many surpassing their AR goals. Students earned a fun filled learning time outdoors! Students will conference with their teacher again to create yet another challenging AR goal for the 2nd quarter. Thank you for stressing the importance of your child reaching their AR goal at home as well.
Our first quarter Report Cards will be available Thursday for you to view in Harmony, please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Your partnership supports our vision of every child reaching their fullest potential everyday!
Fire Safety Prevention: Thank you Union Township Fire Department! We enjoyed our visit to the station and your visit to JSE. Our news also featured fire safety lessons! Enjoy the pictures!
We hope to see you Friday evening at 6pm for our JSE PTO Spooktacular Bash! Thank you for the candy donations, keep them coming please:)! Book Fair will be open Friday evening!

Technology Spotlight: Mrs. Reed's Computer Class
Students in 1st and 2nd grades worked on skill building as they created these fall fest faces in computer class. Students selected and resized images to create their designs. 2nd graders had the added task of rotating and flipping objects to align with the angle of the head of their creation. If you have a child in 1st or 2nd, check out their work in Canvas in their Computer Class with Mrs. Reed.
