Good afternoon Trailblazer families,
This is Julie Bryant, your principal, calling to share some updates and reminders for this last week of the first semester at Jouett Elementary School.
Extended Learning will continue this week, Monday through Wednesday from 3:15 to 4:45.
Our JES Reading Lab is excited to be hosting a food drive to support local families in need. To make things even more fun, there will be a competition in each grade level! The class that brings the most items overall will win a pizza party, and grade-level winners will be recognized with a popcorn party.
The current standings are as follows:
PK = 44 - Mrs. Layne’s class in the lead
Kindergarten = 203 - Ms. Gray’s class in the lead
First =147 - Mrs. Dominick’s class in the lead
Second = 102 - Mrs. Harris’ class in the lead
Third = 243 - Ms. Blankenship’s class in the lead
Fourth = 53 - Mrs. Sandlin’s class in the lead
Fifth = 253 - Mrs. Saunders’ class in the lead
And our current front runners are Ms. Ernharth, Ms. Parker, Ms. West, and Ms. Wright’s classes = 269
