Johnson Jaguars

Dear Jaguar Families,

What a wonderful week we had at Johnson with it finally feeling like spring. Last week the PTO graciously brought us the Bubble Mania show. It was nothing short of spectacular and the grown-ups enjoyed it as much as the students.

Next week our 4th grade students will be taking their math MCAS on the 7th and 8th. Please make sure your student gets a good night's sleep and has a decent breakfast. They should also remember to bring a water bottle to school.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Mrs. Turner
