Hello JCM Families,
We are enjoying all the spirit days this week for Red Ribbon Week! We have two days left! Tomorrow is character day. Students are invited to wear a costume if they choose. Please leave scary costumes and masks at home. Finally, after a busy week we will relax with pajamas on Friday! Friday, November 1 is also our next walk to school day. We will have some special guests from the Broadway High School jazz band to greet us!
This Saturday is our first ever free clothing and household swap. The swap, a free yard sale, is open to all JCM families and the community and will be held on Saturday, November 2nd. Please come by Saturday from 8-11am and pick up some useful items for your family! Spread the word!
Families of multiple JCM kiddos: You may have noticed that some papers such as menus only come home with one child now. We have started using an “oldest and only” list to distribute papers in order to be mindful of paper waste. If you ever need extra copies of menus or other items for your household please feel free to request for your younger child to be added back to the list. We don’t mind a bit and realize that some families may need two copies for a variety of reasons.
The dentist is coming to JCMES! If you are interested in your child receiving dental services, please complete the form entirely and return it to school or register online at https://www.myschooldentist.com/JCRCVA_schsrm. ALL FORMS AND ONLINE REGISTRATIONS ARE DUE ON OR BEFORE FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1ST.
