October 2018

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Dear Families,
The weather is beginning to change as the nights become cooler and the leaves turn the beautiful colors of fall. We have had a great opening at JAE and are looking forward to all the wonderful activities we have planned for October.

Our Open Houses were well attended; I would like to thank the parents and teachers for making the nights such a success. We had representatives from the PTA and the reading department providing information during the open houses, we thank them for their time and dedication. It is so important for families and the school community to work together to ensure that all of our students have a successful experience at JAE. We thank our families for their support!

Some upcoming events include our Folk Dancing Night on October 24th at 7 PM in the old gym. Please join us for a wonderful, fun evening. The JAE book fair will take place the week of October 15th and we have our picture days on October 16th, 17th and 18th. On October 31st, we will have JAE’s Book Character Day, students may dress up as their favorite book or historical character.

As you can see October is a month filled with wonderful activities and strong learning!

Respectfully,
Linda Murphy
