JSC WeeklyWaveWeek of November 14th to November 18th
Dear JSC Community,


Fall is one of my favorite seasons, here at John S. Clarke Elementary Center! Staff and students are buzzing with excitement, in anticipation of our upcoming academic challenges and fun activities!


I would like to give a shout out to our PTO members, for doing an amazing job running our book fair last week! The book fair was a HUGE success because of our wonderful volunteers who took time out of their day to make the book fair possible. Thanks to all students and families who shopped at the fair! All proceeds from the book fair will go directly back to our students! Please read on for more information about all the great things happening in and around JSC!


Have a wonderful week! Roll, Tide!


Your partner in education,


Ms. Kerri Lubinsky

Principal
