This is my first year at JKE and I was really pleased to find out that every year, the JKE community supports a few JKE families who are in need during the holiday season. The Giving Trees are up in the lobby of JKE and they are filled with various items that our families need. Each coloured tag represents a family in need who is grateful for whatever support our community can provide. I took a look this afternoon and many of the items being asked for are very humble. Donations are being accepted until December 15th. If you wish to contribute, come by and grab a tag (or a few) and bring back the new, unwrapped items and place them under a tree with the original tag attached. Classes at JKE are collecting the donations several times a day and sorting them so that the items go to the families who requested them. Also, the coin drive students are participating in this week benefits the same families. The money collected with be gathered and staff members from JKE will go shopping for bigger ticket items that the families are in need of such as microwaves. Wednesday, we are collecting quarters, Thursday is loonies and Friday, twoonies are being collected. Thank you to everyone who is able to contribute. Happy Holidays Mrs. Vieira

All about Mrs. VieiraI'm new to JKE and new to the school district but I've been a teacher in B.C. since 2008. I love art, animals and my family, which includes my daughter who is 1 year old. Archives
