Enjoy the SUMMER!



Dear JES family and friends,

Summer has arrived and Texasdog and I are off for a summer holiday. Tex is spending a lot of time in the pool and under the shade of the backyard oak tree trying to keeping cool.  I am following his lead.

Thank you to all who donated school supplies at the end of the school year. We were able to send two boxes of supplies with the Dillard family to the street children in Nairobi, Kenya. The Dillards’ grandparents work with orphaned teenagers rescuing them from the streets. The majority of the school supplies were donated to the Munhu organization which supports students in Zimbabwe. The Gumbo family arranges for shipping the school supplies. Thank you for your support to these worth causes.

Remember to continue reading this summer! Children just learning to read tend to regress during the summer so read, read, read! Children are never too young or too old to hear a story read aloud. Maybe you can even do some shared reading. Make it fun!

Although, I will be off for summer break until August 13th, I will be checking my email regularly, if you have a concern. Those who are new to our school district may register on August 7th at the Johnson campus.

Enjoy the break and Tex and I look forward to seeing you in August!


Sincerely,

Ziba Johnston - Mrs. J
