Good morning JBE Families. This is a reminder that AMI Day means Alternative Method of Instruction. In order for your student to avoid being marked absent, they must complete 4 assignments total from the core areas of reading, writing, math, science or social studies. That means they can skip one of the cores today. You can turn in a hard copy, send your teacher an image of the completed work or write a note to the teacher if it is something like read for 15 minutes. Please reach out to your teacher if you have questions. This is DUE on TUESDAY when we return. If you don't have your choice board at home, you can find it online at https://www.mc-wildcats.org/page/ami . Stay safe and warm. Thank you for helping our students complete the work. Our attendance goal is to exceed 90%, our last AMI day was 85.28%. Together we can accomplish this goal.

The JBE PTO Carnival is coming and to celebrate the PTO is giving away carnival tickets to some lucky SUNsational Students. Today's lucky winner was Ella B. She had been nominated for being Responsible. Ella won 20 tickets to the PTO Carnival on Sunday, February 25.

It's SRO Appreciation Day. JBE would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to our School Resouce Officer Deputy Harley for helping keep our school and students safe.

Some of the MCHS FTA members had an opportunity to job shadow at JBE. They were able to spend their day with a class and see what it is like to be an MCR-II teacher. We hope they enjoyed their day with us.

Congratulations to some of our SUNsational Students of the Week: Ethen B, Rikki F, Montana W, and Piper K.

It's Valentine's Day tomorrow and the Chiefs won the Super Bowl again! Let's paint JBE RED on Wednesday, February 14.

We NEED YOUR HELP!!!! Please look for a way that you can help support our PTO Carnival through your service or support or both. Events like the Carnival are not possible without the helping hands of many people. Please let us know how you can help by calling the school or emailing rhans@mc-wildcats.org . Grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, friends and community members are all welcome to sign up to work. THANK YOU for supporting our PTO, our students and our staff.

JBE Supporters! I know I sound like a broken record, but our JBE PTO really needs your support. I proudly say all of the time at administrator meetings, in our community and at professional development opportunities across our state how lucky I am to lead a school in such a caring community. In fact, I'm currently working on a presentation to give at the MAESP state conference at the beginning of March about all of the great things that are happening at JBE. One of the reasons that we are able to retain great staff and have a culture of learning, growing and loving kids is because of the incredible support we have from our community. The support we have is unmatched and for that, I feel truly blessed to be able to lead a school that loves my students as much as I do. With that being said, PTO NEEDS YOUR HELP for our upcoming carnival. To be honest, I am getting a bit nervous. It was six weeks away, then a month, but now it is only two weeks away and we have 5 silent auction items and 6.5 games covered. Let's be honest. Carnivals don't bring most adults joy. We know that, but we also know how much fun kids have at a carnival. It's not just about the games and trinkets that you win. It's about community. I encourage you to consider signing up to work a game for a shift and bring your kid to let them play with their friends and make memories without a device in their hand. It doesn't get much more "good ole' family fun" than this. Our PTO has tried really hard to make the carnival affordable to families by switching to a concession stand format instead of a sit-down meal, they offer individual game tickets and unlimited bracelets for sale, and the carnival will be in the gym so the kids are contained in one space so you can see them and you don't have to worry about the weather. Ultimately, this long message is to, at this point, beg for your support. Please consider signing up to work a shift running a game or get together with a couple other parents and donate something for the silent auction. Our PTO values doing fundraisers that are useful to you and your family. We have three fundraisers planned this spring. In March we will be selling IMO's cards, hosting our spring soap sale and of course the Carnival on February 25th. We do our best to choose fundraisers that are either an event or affordable and useful. We truly love each and every kiddo at our school and want to be able to continue to do all of the extras that our PTO funds, but without parent support, we will have to scale back on the extras. Thank you for your continued support of our sweet little school! I appreciate each of you. If you have any questions please reach out to any PTO officer or myself!
