The J-List

Hello JES Family!
I hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving break and were able to be surrounded by all of the special people in your life. It was a special week for me as both of my boys and my grand-daughter were able to join us for the holiday.
It is the most wonderful time of the year! Such a special time on campus and in our community. I absolutely love this time of the year and as usual, I am so overwhelmed by the generosity of this beautiful community. Thank you for fulfilling the needs of our JES community by granting Angel Tree wishes. As of this afternoon, only 5 gifts remain to be adopted!!! I am also so appreciative for all the many volunteers who pour their time and efforts into our school. In fact, we had over 30 volunteers on campus today grilling burgers for the staff, assisting students with the Dragon Wagon, helping out in the copy room, and helping students decorate desks in a classroom.
If you haven't already done so, please take a few minutes to stop by and visit our Gingerbread Village! We have over 200 wonderful Gingerbread houses on display, created by our JES students and families.
Our students, staff, parents, and community make JES a special school! Thank you for being a part of our family! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any celebrations or concerns you would like to share.
GO DRAGONS!
Patrick Holladay, Principal
The Gifted & Talented Program referral window for current Kindergarten students is open and will close at 3:00 pm on Tuesday, December 17th. Please open this link for more information. Please note that there are NO exceptions to the referral deadline.
If you haven't been able to pick up a JES angel yet, we still have many that are waiting to be adopted. Just swing by the school and pull one or two from the Angel Tree in the front office. Please bring your angel gifts back wrapped and clearly marked with your angel’s number by Friday, December 13th.
The JES Angel Tree is specific to families at our school. If you have questions reach out to Carrie Moore (moore.carrie.j@gmail.com) or Lindsay Bailey (lindsay.bailey@southlakecarroll.edu).
On Thursday, December 19, our home room classes will be enjoying some hot chocolate and a movie. Teachers will be communicating information about the movie they will be showing. If you do not want your student to participate, or if you have any questions about the movie, please contact your teacher.
We would like to invite our JES families to join us again this year at The Cowtown Kids 5K on Saturday, February 22, 2025. The campus Principals and other staff from our five CISD elementary schools are planning to participate in this event with families from across our district. Whether you are a runner, a jogger, or a walker, we would love to have you and your family join us for this fun family event.
