On November 19th, all of our 8th graders will go on a field trip to all three McKinney high schools to see the Career and Technical Education Programs at each school. 

A message from Dr. Curry...

Dear Tiger Parents:
​What an amazing week. We had two sets of visitors from national organizations that toured our school and they saw the most amazing things going on instructional. They were so impressed with our teachers and your incredible kids! Additionally, we had students deliver the 2500+ cans that you donated to Minie's Food Pantry to help feed Collin County residents during Thanksgiving. Our AVID 6th graders are gone to the University of North Texas today. Thursday night we had a wonderful Veteran's day concert performed by our Band, Choir, and Orchestra to honor our United States Veterans. This past week SJMS had two District Holiday Card Art winners (see the pic to the left)! Finally, we will host the MISD District Volleyball tournament starting tonight. WOW! I told you we had a great week!

Monday, November 11th is a student holiday, but more importantly, it is Veteran's Day. This is a time for us to reflect on all the people who serve in our military branches and protect the freedoms we Americans enjoy in our everyday lives. In a world that often seems divided, let's pull together on Veteran's Day and show appreciation for others who continue to serve this great country of ours. After all, we are united, we are stronger together, we have beautiful differences, we are all Americans!!

We have some Johnson Tigers representing our campus at the Special Olympics Bowling Competition next week. This event takes place in Garland next Tuesday. It is always so much fun to go and support our Panthers and other students from around the area who come out and give their best efforts while also having a fantastic time together. Let's cheer on our Panthers to a great victory!!

On November 19th, our 8th graders will tour each of the high schools to see the wide-range of CTE classes offered to them over the next 4 years. The students will have lunch when we return to school. Our students love this day and get really excited about the possibilities for their future. Please make sure to ask your 8th grader about the trip...this would be a great dinner talk.

Colder weather is heading our way next week. Please keep in mind that the building does not open until 8:15. If you drop your kiddo off early, please make sure they are dressed accordingly.

We have 9 more instructional days until Thanksgiving. Be sure to check your child's grades and let's go into the holiday in great shape academically.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Dr. Curry
