A big THANK YOU to our amazing leader, Mrs. Lori King! We are grateful for all that she does to make WJES a great place to learn, work, and play!
Help us show her some love this week!
Legacy Youth Mentoring Gala
We had 16 WJES students attending this year's Legacy Youth Mentoring Gala. We are so grateful for Ms. Lisa Stephens and this one of a kind opportunity to our Jackson community. The mentees and mentors celebrated together their accomplishments and partnership this year. We look forward to many years to come.
Field Day begins at 9:00 AM for all grade levels
Field day is on the horizon & we are so excited to welcome parents! Here are some reminders about field day:
Parents MUST check in at the front office and get a visitor sticker BEFORE they attend field day. Bring your photo ID. Any visitors without a sticker will be asked to go to the front office to check in.
Send your child with water, a hat, sunscreen, beach towel, and an extra pair of clothes.
Keep an eye out for supply and volunteer sign ups coming soon!
We are in need of volunteers and supplies to make this the best Field Day yet. If you can help us out use the links below and sign-up! Spots will go fast so grab yours today!
New vendor for School meal payments
