Dear JES
family and friends,
We are almost there!
Summer is right around the corner so don’t give up now! This month is the
perfect time to learn the value of ENDURANCE as our students patiently wait and work toward
sunscreen and sandy beaches. So we will stick to the school year to the very
end. ENDURANCE - sticking with what you started even when it's tough.
ONE DAY WITHOUT SHOES
How perfect
that our character trait for May is ENDURANCE! With ONE DAY WITHOUT SHOES, we are giving children hope to
endure so they will have a future. One pair of shoes for a child can gain them
entry to school, keep them healthy, protect them from injury, and most of all
give them the hope that someone cares about them. On May 8th, we will be going shoeless (wearing our socks)
at school to bring attention to the needs of children around the world who miss
opportunities in life because they do not have shoes. Send in a new pair of
shoes to donate to Shoes for Orphan Souls on May 8th. For more information
visit the Shoes for Orphan Souls website at
http://www.shoesfororphansouls.org/
As important as it is for underprivileged children to receive shoes, it is equally important for our children to have an opportunity to think about the many blessings they have and to share from their hearts.
There is also an opportunity to chat
with DIS Administrators on May 7th at 1PM for a Coffee Talk. On May
16th incoming 5th graders are invited to FUN NIGHT from
6-8Pm in the DIS Cafeteria.
As always, if
I can assist you in any way, please call.
Ziba Johnston
JES Counselor
