Week at a Glance December 17-21, 2018

Happy LAST week of 2018 at JHE!
It will be a great last week of school but I cannot deny my excitement to kick back, relax, and watch some of my favorite Christmas movies (seen below)!  We appreciate this staff so much and we hope you ALL get some MUCH needed rest and recovery! 
PS: If you are the first three people to email me back with the 5 names of these movies-you can come to the office and get a prize from Blanca!

 

 

• 
  
• WHO ARE THE NORTH POLE NINJAS? I DON'T KNOW EITHER, BUT I KNOW THEY ARE AWESOME! Thank you for spreading joy across the building! 
• HOW COOL (or is it warm) was Mrs. Patrick's Polar Express last week? Thanks for working hard to create memories for our kids, Carrie!
• HIGH FIVE to our awesome counselors  for working hard to meet the emotional and socio needs of our students this season!

I would like to take a minute and say a very special thank you to...

Mrs. Melinda Rios-Galvan.  

Melinda is one of the most self-less individual I have ever met. She is patient, compassionate,understanding, and she is beyond trustworthy. She continuously looks for the best in everyone and as a specialist, she sincerely wants every teacher to cultivate their craft no matter where they are on their teaching path.  She encourages learners of all ages-even being deemed the JHE Disney Princess (with an edge of course!)  because of the ability to surround others in warmth and push their confidence upward. She CONSTANTLY researches  up-to-date instructional practices and seeks out answers directly from authors and other experts. She pushes for teacher rights with the district and ensures that teachers are protected from things they shouldn't have to worry about so they can...teach! We are honored to work with you, Melinda!
