We are quickly approaching the end of another successful school year here at Mildred B. Janson School.  It has been a year full of accomplishments and celebrations as our students and staff continue to shine and create amazing memories!  Please allow me to recap some of our major highlights since Winter Break.

Our First annual Father and Daughter Dance was a huge success with more than 140 people in attendance. Our PTA volunteers and along with various staff members worked hard to decorate and set up a beautiful evening that our Janson fathers and daughters will always remember. Thank you PTA for the wonderful event and thank you Janson Fathers for being there and creating memories that will last a lifetime for your daughters.

Thank you to our fourth-grade students and teachers for working together with our PTA to produce a very entertaining Founder's Day show. Our students rocked and danced the night away with dances from the hit movie and soundtrack “Grease.” It was truly an awesome show and so proud of our students!

We did not forget about our Janson Mothers who had two events this month, Muffins with Moms and the Mother and Son Night Out. Both events were well attended and a big thank you to our PTA volunteers and staff volunteers for all the support in decorating and preparing for the two events. It was great to see all the mom and sons dance the night away while enjoying a night out with other Janson mothers.

This year also presented Janson’s ninth annual Leadership Day Event. With more than 100 visitors, our students and staff once again provided a day full of leadership opportunities for our students to demonstrate for all to see. We had students play paparazzi, give speeches, tour guides, dance, showcase their leadership notebooks and of course who can forget our Janson celebrities from hit TV shows “This is Us and World of Dance.” It was an amazing day and very proud of all of our Janson students, staff, community, parents and volunteers.  

We are currently in the middle of State testing for our 3rd-6th-grade students and preparing for our Open House event which will take place on Thursday, May 30. Please come by and be sure to watch our students present their teachers, learn about our various Student Action teams, and visit all of our classrooms. It promises to be a fun-filled night and I am excited for our students to show showcase their work to all of you.

With the end of the school less than three weeks away, there is still so much to do such as the PTA Talent Show, Reading Is Fundamental event, Honors Assembly, Jog-a-thon and promotion ceremonies just to name a few, and I invite you to check out our website calendar for more information.

Lastly, I would like to remind all parents that the last day of school is June 14. Our first Day of school for the 2019-2020 school year is on August 21. On behalf of the Janson students, staff, community, and myself, thank you for allowing me to serve your child(ren) and be your principal. Have a great Summer.

Wishing all of you the best,

Mr. Cardenas
