Happy Tuesday, everyone—hoping you're all having a great week so far and ready for a quick update of lots of ways opportunities to join us here at school!
Walk to School Morning: September 4!
When: This Friday, September 4th, starting at 7:45 AM
Where: Walk to school from your house, or park at the nearby church or school parking lot to start your walk.
Why: It’s a super fun way to get fresh air, listen to fun music, and get ready for the day!
What to Wear: Wear your new JCMES shirt if you want to!
While you’re here on Friday, consider staying for coffee and donuts with the Title I team. See the fliers below for more information.


Welcome Back Picnic: September 17th
Join us for a fun-filled Welcome Back Picnic on September 17th from 6:00 PM to dusk at the track behind the school. Bring your own blanket or chair and get comfy as we kick off the new school year together. You can either drive around to the back or park in the front and walk through the school. Families are encouraged to bring their own dinner, but our amazing PTO will be providing hot dogs and condiments while supplies last. We can't wait to see you there!
Fall Family Picnics are back the week of September 21-25!
Bring your lunch and eat outside with your child on their class's picnic day. You can sit at a picnic table or bring a blanket for the grass in front of the school. Your child's teacher will let you know which day your class is eating outside.
After lunch, students will go back inside to keep learning, so please remind your child ahead of time that you'll be saying goodbye when lunch ends. We hope to see you there!
Picture Day
Mark your calendar for Fall Picture Day on Friday, September 25th! Send no money at this time. There will be information coming to your email regarding ordering online after picture day.
Have a great week,
