350 Pairs of Shoes! Thank you!

Dear JES family and friends,
Thank you to everyone who contributed to ONE Day Without Shoes. 320 pairs of shoes were collected and delivered to the Buckner Foundation. The shoes are on their way to Kenya! I know new shoes give hope to children in need. Thank you, again, for your generosity in this service project.


May's character trait is PERSEVERANCE defined as refusing to give up when life gets hard. We will be learning about and practicing PERSEVERANCE as we look toward the end of the year. Please encourage your student to continue to work hard and do their best at school so we can end the year on a positive note!
Durham Intermediate Visit - Our fourth graders will be taking a trip over to Durham Intermediate School to take a tour and meet the Principals and Counselors and take a look at the building to help with their transition. Taking advantage of opportunities to become familiar with the Intermediate School will help with making for a smooth transitions to the new school.

STAAR Testing Date for 3rd & 4th Grades-May 13th and 14th
Your child is well prepared to take their tests and the best thing you can do to help them preform their best is to get to bed on time and feed them a good breakfast. The teacher and students will do the rest!

Thank you for all you do to support your student and the school. It is appreciated. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at Elizabeth.Johnston@southlakecarroll.edu

Kind regards,
Ziba Johnston
JES Counselor
