JHE Week at a Glance December 4-December 8, 2017

Bulldog Squad-

Down to TWO weeks before 2017 is over at JHE! I just cannot believe how fast it has gone. The next two weeks will be full of surprises for you! Each day you will get an email for the NEXT day's surprise! It's time to bust out our cheesy Christmas wear, music, decorations, EVERYTHING! Try to make this a magical time for your kids, too! Maybe eat lunch with them one day, or let them all take their shoes off, or let them sit ANYWHERE! Get CRAZY!

Have a HAPPY week!
~Sanders
