President's Message
As we look forward to another great month at JSE, we’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Ashley Russel, Courtnie Jensen, Nicole Peterson, Jennifer Tutko-Anderson and Brittany Marino for putting on an amazing book fair last week. With such a large and long event, it really does take a full team & we appreciate all of you ladies. It was so wonderful to see so many happy students, parents & teachers shopping the book fair and supporting our school!
We’d also like to thank Gerilyn Attebery for coordinating the super fun “Go Roadrunners!” sign on the Alhambra Valley fence that now welcomes you into John Swett.
Looking ahead, we are excited to continue our spring planning with more information to come on our Auction, Me & My Hero Dance, Talent Show, Teacher Appreciation Week & lots of exciting 5th Grade activities and Promotion.
Our Nominating Committee is also well underway planning the next PTA Board for the 2025/26 school year & would love to talk with you about open positions. Please see the information shared below on how to learn more and become involved!
