Thanks for Your Support!

We've had a great week at JES. On Tuesday, September 15, a big crowd was on hand for the Monsanto check presentation during our monthly PTO meeting. Another presentation will occur at the Limestone County School board meeting on Tuesday, October 6. The $10,000 grant will allow JES to create a Project Based Learning center for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) projects in the library/media center. Earlier this morning, over 129 moms participated in Muffins for Moms to celebrate literacy and promote our Fall Book Fair. This year's book fair grossed over $8,700. We appreciate everyone's support. A special thank you to our media specialist, Mrs. Nanci Spears, Book Fair Chairperson, Mrs. Tamsen Gonzales, Instructional Coach, Kandye Jones, and numerous PTO parent volunteers.

This Friday, September 25, JES will participate in the 6th annual Playing for Preemies. Each year, Rusty and Kristen Bates continue efforts to raise funds for the Melissa George Neonatal Memorial Fund. Mr. and Mrs. Bates' daughter was born prematurely and spent her first 52 days of life in the neonatal unit at Huntsville Hospital. On Friday, Mr. Bates along with Ardmore High School football players, cheerleaders, and marching band will visit JES for a pep rally and to Pie the Principal. All proceeds go the Melissa George Neonatal Memorial Fund.

Great things are happening at JES. We appreciate your support and look forward to a great fall. Remember the best is yet to come. Until next week, keep climbing and Go Rebels!
