ONE DAY WITHOUT SHOES - April 9th

Dear JES family and friends,

ONE DAY WITHOUT SHOES
Our 4th annual shoe drive for the Buckner Foundation is April 9th! Shoes for Orphan Souls is the largest humanitarian aid project of Buckner International, a global ministry dedicated to making life better for orphans, vulnerable children and families since 1879. Visit the website shoesfororphansouls.org to find out why shoes are important to hundreds of thousands of needy children. This is a wonderful opportunity for our children to give back. When the new shoes line our hallways it a visual reminder of the importance of sharing what we have with others.
 
April's Character Trait - PEACE
PEACE is the character value for the month of April. The definition proving you care more about each other than winning an argument.

KINDERGARTEN PREVIEW - April 23rd
Kindergarten Preview at JES is happening on April the 23rd  from 5-6:15. This is an opportunity for prospective kindergartners to visit the classrooms at Johnson Elementary and meet the teachers and staff.  If you have a child who will be five years old by September 1st, 2015, plan on visiting this fun event. Be sure and tell your neighbors and friends about our Preview, too. We invite all eligible kindergarteners and their parents to come!
As always, if I can assist you in any way, please call.

Kindest regards,

 Ziba Johnston
JES Counselor
