At JES, we have many blessing to be thankful for and are excited about new opportunities in 2016. I appreciate the hard work and dedication of our teachers and staff. Teaching is a calling and the JES family strives to answer that call each day. I also appreciate the continuous support and encouragement from parents and community leaders. Johnson is a special place because our community is filled with special people always willing to help others. The JES family wishes you and yours a Merry Christmas and a prosperous and healthy New Year!
