As some of you may have heard, Mrs. Holloman has recently been hospitalized and will not return to JWES this school year. We deeply miss her and want to wish her a healthy recovery. Many have asked how they can help. I reached out to Mr. Holloman and he said she loves cards and letters… If you are a current Mrs. Holloman family, a past Holloman family, or know her and her family as the long time Tiger community members they are, the family asks that you shower her with cards of love and support. You may buy or create (with the help of your student) a card and write her a special message inside. Help us brighten her day and help her be TIGER STRONG. Cards may be sent to the Elementary School any time and we will see they are delivered to Mrs. Holloman. Pictured here is a special mailbox by the office for her cards. On behalf of the Holloman family, thank you for your support, your love, and your prayers. Always Tiger Strong, Mr. Sturgeon

They continue to make us so proud because of their focus, dedication, work ethic, and resiliency. In this season of reflection and gratitude, we wanted to take a moment to simply and sincerely say “Thank You!” for everything you have done, are doing, and will continue to do to help and support your children, our teachers, and our school community. As a service to our families and staff, we will provide a special covid test clinic for anyone that would like to get a covid test before Thanksgiving. This special covid test clinic will be held on Wednesday morning, November 24, 2021, from 7 AM to 9 AM at Jefferson West Elementary School in the school gym.
