Dear JCMES Families,
We are having a great 4-day week here at JCMES, and excitement is high as spring break is just around the corner! Before we head into the break, we want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who supported our PTO’s Spring Auction! While so many played a part in making this event a success, we would like to give a special shoutout to our auction coordinators, Mallory Coffman and Ashley Skelly, and to the talented artists behind the class plates, Erin Sauder and Rachel Chavez.
We hope everyone enjoys a well-deserved, restful spring break from March 31st to April 4th. When we return, we are excited to finish the year strong and look forward to a wonderful spring together! For those who purchased items at the auction, we look forward to seeing you tomorrow from 4:00-7:00 PM for pick-up in the cafeteria!
Read below for more information about upcoming events!

The PTO auction pick-up is happening tomorrow, March 27th from 4:00-7:00 PM in the cafeteria. Please use the cafeteria door entrance, located on the side of the school near the pick-up/drop-off line. We can’t wait to see you there and thank you for your support!

Second Grade Trail Mix Sales:
Tomorrow marks the final day of our 2nd Grade Trail Mix Sales, and there are still approximately 500 bags available for purchase! Each delicious bag is just $0.50, and every penny raised will directly support our Snack Bag Program. Don’t miss out on this sweet opportunity to help out and enjoy a tasty treat!
School Shirt Sponsors:
Each year all students at JCMES receive a free school shirt. This is made possible by generous donations from local businesses. The shirts are proudly worn throughout the year by students and staff alike and are a great advertisement for businesses! If you know of a company that is interested in sponsoring, please fill out this short form and the school will send them an invoice. https://forms.gle/958oi5yg2tZ7CyaC7
