DUCKS AT JOHNSON SCHOOL
For the second year in a row, a mother Duck has decided to make the courtyard at Johnson School her home.  Mama Duck has about 13 ducklings parading around the courtyard and splashing and swimming in a baby pool - provided by our principal, of course! Last year Mom kept the ducklings pretty much out of sight, but this year she is more trusting, and shows off her brood throughout the day.  Our students and staff enjoy taking a moment to stop by the windows to watch our Johnson duck family.  We will keep you updated as they continue to grow, and eventually fly away on their own!

A-Z COUNTDOWN TO THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL-NO SPIRIT WEEK IN MAY
At Johnson School we are celebrating the last days of school by counting down the alphabet each day with a special activity. Due to this activity, we will not have Spirit Week as published in our May Newsletter Calendar.  Instead we will focus on our A-Z Countdown!  A calendar was sent home with your child detailing the events for each day.  There is also a copy of the A-Z calendar in our virtual Friday Folder for your convenience.
