KINDNESS RALLY on FRIDAY!!!

Dear JES family and friends,

Happy New Year! Thank you for your generosity throughout the holiday season. Our Angel Tree program is a blessing to many of our families. It is such a joy to be a part of it. Our Johnson families are kind and generous beyond measure and show great concern and kindness in making sure that all of the children in our Johnson family receive gifts during the holiday.

Project Generosity
We collected over $800 to give the ladies in the cafeteria and the housekeeping staff a poinsettia and a generous gift card to WalMart. PTO gave each custodian and cafeteria worker a gift card that was presented, as well. The Ambassadors of Kindness delivered the gifts during fourth grade lunch, right before we all left on winter break. Your generosity is greatly appreciated by the workers and all of our students who have an opportunity to show their appreciation for those who work so hard to keep us healthy.




KINDNESS RALLY on FRIDAY!!! 
Our character trait for January is Commitment defined as making a plan and putting it into practice. We are committed to making Johnson Elementary the BEST school! We are committed to making it a safe and happy place to be so children can focus on learning.

On Friday, we will be having a Kindness Rally to reinforce our commitment to the Dragon Diamonds incentives program that our PTO so generously supports. The children will rally together and be treated to a presentation by The Morris Brothers. If you have not seen the Morris Brothers’ program, they are a couple of nerds who use silly humor to support Character Education.  You can see a clip at  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_eJ3EE-0T0  We anticipate that this Kindness Rally will remind everyone how important it is to always be kind with both words and actions.

CogAT & ITBS Results
Fourth grade parents should receive CogAT and ITBS results in the mail this week. If you have any questions or need help interpreting the results, you can contact me at Elizabeth.Johnston@southlakecarroll.edu .

As always, if I can assist you in any way, please call.

Kindest regards,
Ziba Johnston
