Happy Psychologist week!
Jacobson celebrates their amazing school psychologist this week. Ms Sam Blau works tirelessly to support several CUSD schools. Psychologists are unsung heroes and work to assist some of our most fragile learners.
We appreciate Ms. Blau and ALL hard-working school psychologists!

HOPE WEEK
Hope Week was November 1-5th. Staff and students participated by answering the following questions - "What is your hope?", "What is your hope for your colleagues?", and "What is your hope for your students?". Staff wrote their hopes for their students on a whiteboard in the cafeteria for students to see and on a poster board in the staff lounge for their colleagues to see. Students completed a classroom discussion and activity about hope and each student wrote down what their hopes and dreams were on the rainbow display in the Front Office! If you happen to stop by in the Front Office, come check out the rainbow display!

Ish Project
Jacobson Jets are blooming artists! Every child in school created a piece of art based on the book Ish, by Peter H Reynolds. The story is about a boy named Roman who loses confidence in his drawing. Together with the help of his younger sister, Roman learns that drawings do not have to be perfect to be beautiful.
Come check out our schoolwide Mural. Together as a community school, we celebrate all of us and all of our art!
