Principal Courtney surprises fifth grade with a pizza party.
On last Friday, SJES noticed a tiger walking around the building. He even dressed up as Principal Courtney. He went and visited every classroom and even hugged a few students and faculty members.
We would like to take this time to thank all the parents and students that came out and supported our Tiger Time Family Night. It was a great success!!
During this week of kindness, faculty and staff wrote kind notes to one another and placed them on each others door. Also, each day teachers entered a raffle to win a prize. This has been a wonderful kind week at SJES!
