A Message from Mrs. Hankins
Families and friends,
This week we demonstrate our liberties. Tuesday, November 8 is voting day and Friday, November 11 is Veterans' Day honoring those who have and are serving our country.
On Tuesday, we will have extra safety precautions in place as JSE is a voting site. Voters will be coming and leaving through the gym doors. Town citizens will not have access to our main entrance or to the building. We will also be holding all recesses on the back playground, or it will be indoors depending on weather. Please be mindful that our parking lot will be used for other traffic, so drive in carefully during drop off and dismissal.
Friday, we will be honoring our vets through a program in the gym. This will start at 9am and last until about 10am. Our PTO will be helping with light refreshments and a photo area for our honored guests and their JSE students.
It is an honor to be serving our community,
Mrs. Hankins
Veteran's Day 2022
A form was sent home last week asking for our students' Veterans they would like to honor during our slide show on Friday. This was due last Friday, but if you have not yet turned this in, please send in the information no later than Tuesday, November 8 to be included in the slideshow. If you still attend, we will be asking if anyone is here that wasn't mentioned and have them stand up.
The form includes: student name and teacher, Veteran's name / branch/ relationship/ and if they will be attending Friday.
Thank you for your assistance on this!
