Week 32
Good Afternoon JMS Families,
As we approach the end of the school year, I wanted to take a moment to update you on all the exciting things happening at Jacques Memorial School. First and foremost, our students have been working incredibly hard and we are so proud of all their accomplishments. Our students have shown a dedication to learning that is truly inspiring.
We look forward to the next few busy weeks of May. Parents are always encouraged to attend these important, culminating events including the Music/Arts Festival scheduled for the end of the month as well as the popular Fun Day scheduled for June 9th. In order for these events to be successful, we will need volunteers and chaperones for these upcoming events.
In addition to these special events, we continue to focus on providing the best possible education for our students. Our teachers have been working hard to ensure that every child receives personalized attention and support, and we have seen some great results. Thank you for reading this week's update!
