Parents, we are starting our One Book, One School book today, April 21st. Please check your child's bookbag for the book and reading schedule. We ask that you read with your child. Either you read to them, you take turns reading, or they read to you, any combination works.
We will have questions and discussion the following day at school. This is a longer book than we have done in the past, but we think it will be so worth it! If you get behind on reading, don't get discouraged, just try to make it up when you have the time. We thank you in advance for all that you do to make Jeff West the best!!
-Mrs. Lloyd

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
