Children's Book Week Begins

Children's Book Week began today at JME.  Our students celebrated with the topic "Hats Off To Reading."

LUNCH BUNCH BEGINS NEXT WEEK

This year's Lunch Bunch will begin Wednesday, September 4.  Fourth and fifth graders are invited to spend some time reading silently in the media center after they have finished eating in the cafeteria. Place your book in the bin before coming to lunch, grab your lunch bunch card, and come enjoy some quiet time reading your favorite book.

Scholastic Book Fair Will Be Here Soon!

The Scholastic Book Fair will be held in the media

Rocket out in the Media Center

A New Year in the Media Center

Welcome back to the JME media center where we will Keep Calm and Rocket Out this year.
All of the classes have visited the media center this week and have begun a new year of reading and taking
AR tests.  Home Connect letters will be sent home next week to help parents stay informed of their students' progress in AR.  We are aiming for a school wide average of 85% or higher this year.
