It has just come to my attention that the menu online is a bit confusing.... We will work to correct that error, but, in the meantime, lunch for tomorrow (Thursday, March 13th) is "Breakfast for Lunch" and Friday (March 14th) is Pepperoni Pizza.
Our annual Book Character parade was an awesome experience, as always! The creativity and participation was “one for the books” (see what I did there? 😉😂)
While we try to capture as many pics of the event, our students are moving quickly through the building). Enjoy!
JCS Families: All JCS schools will be closed tomorrow, Monday, March 7th as staff participate in professional learning.
Tyler Robinson was nominated by his teacher, Ms. Brooks, for a Positive Office Referral because of his kindness for others and enthusiasm for school. Tyler comes to SJES each day, ready to learn something new and to be an awesome friend. Sounds like the perfect person to be recognized! Thank you, Tyler! 💛💜
Congratulations to fourth grader, Stella Lopez, for her Positive Office Referral! Stella was nominated by her teacher, Ms. Brooks, for pushing through her frustrations with Math. Instead of giving up, Stella pushed through, challenging herself to ask questions, take her time and practice, practice, practice. We are proud of you, Stella. You should be very proud of yourself, as well! 🥳
See this awesome bunch of first graders? They decided to gather litter from our walking trail and clean up our space so that we could all enjoy the beauty of nature. Mrs. Shearer wanted to celebrate their kindness with a Positive Office Referral and I couldn’t agree more! Our future is bright, with these young people leading with their hearts. Thank you! 🌎
Today’s Read Across America event was “Buddying Up to Reading”. Our younger students are paired with older students to share their reading or to be read to by the older reading buddy. It’s a beautiful thing to watch and our students love it.
Third grader, Griffin Carroll, was nominated by his teacher, Mrs. Hipp, for a Positive Office Referral. Griffin was finished his work early and decided to work on additional school work while his fellow classsmates finished the assignment. Griffin could have easily chose a fun, non-academic activity, but instead chose to push himself to do even more. What an impressive decision, Griffin! Thank you for being an exceptional role model for others!

We kicked off our Read Across America week with a “reading is cozy” theme today. We wore our pajamas and brought a stuffy to school to be our reading buddy. Members of the Washington High School Key Club stopped by to read to classes and we had many opportunities to read with our friends. It was a great day to read our favorite books!
Congratulations to Caleb Cotter, who was nominated for a Positive Office Referral from his teacher. Mrs. Mangum said that Caleb “comes to school with enthusiasm, adding to class discussions and challenging himself each day”. Impressive, Caleb! Thank you for being a positive role model for other students at SJES!
JCS Families: There are several bus scheduling adjustments this morning. Please review the JCS Bus Status Tracker for updated information. https://www.jcswv.org/page/bus-tracker
If you bundled sweet, kind, caring and helpful into a package and sprinkled in a dash of adorable, you’d have Harlow Thomas. Harlow was nominated for a Positive Office Referral for always helping others and for being an awesome assistant to her teacher. I told Harlow that I’d hire her to be our next kindergarten teacher when she’s ready! Super proud of you, Harlow! 💜💛
Ms. Mahoney

Thank you!
We work hard to inspire our students to be good citizens and to make the world a better place. Some of our students just naturally put those ideas into action and are already leading the way for others. Fourth grader, Zoey Traywick, is one of those leaders. She is always offering to help others and to lend a hand whenever she sees the need. That is love in action. That is Zoey. Congratulations on your Positive Office Referral—-it is well-deserved! 💜🥳
Meet fourth-grader, Cheyenne Hess.
Cheyenne was nominated for a Positive Office Referral by her teacher for her incredible kindness, enthusiasm for learning and awesome smile! Way to bring sunshine to SJES every day, Cheyenne! You’re an excellent role model for all of us! ☀️😁
Fourth grade is well into their study of “the Birth of Rocks”! In this unit of study, the students will investigate features and processes of the Earth's surface and explore the rapid process of volcanic eruptions! In contrast, students will also explore the gradual Earth processes of weathering and erosion and apply their knowledge and design solutions to mitigate the impacts of these processes on humans.
Ms. Brooks’ “rock stars” were hard at work on volcanic mapping and lava making!
It was all hands on deck as Mrs. Hipp’s third graders learned about perimeter! Hands on learning and high levels of engagement = fun!
Happy Valentine's Day to our SJES community!
JCS Community: All activities and events are canceled for Wednesday, February 12, 2025, due to road conditions.
