The Latest Happenings at Jackson Elementary!
For the week beginning September 11, 2017
Dear Jackson families,
Even though it was a short week, we have had a productive and exciting few days at Jackson!
Jump Rope Club (for 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students) and Honor Choir (4th and 5th grade students) both started this week, kicking off our before-school activities. It was a pleasure to see our students coming to school early to participate in these valuable programs. Orchestra also began this week, giving interested 5th grade students the opportunity to learn to play stringed instruments.
Important things to note for next week:
- Fall picture day is Wednesday, September 13. All students will have their photo taken for the yearbook. If you would like to order a photo package, order forms were sent home in this week’s Thursday folders or you can order online at www.tomjacksonphoto.com.
- Continuing our preparedness drills, we will have our first tornado drill on Friday, September 15. Thank you in advance for talking with your student about the importance of these procedures.
- McFarlin's Mobile Food Pantry provides free groceries to families who need a helping hand, and the first delivery is Monday, September 11 from 5:30-7:00pm in the Jackson parking lot. Please bring a photo ID and proof of residence with you, and complete a quick application when you arrive.
- Our annual Tiger Trot is our biggest—and only—fundraiser of the year and is scheduled for Tuesday, October 10. The money that our students raise directly supports Jackson’s classrooms and teachers. Look for more information about this fun jogging event in Thursday folders. Envelopes for your student to use to raise money will go home on Thursday, September 14. We are currently seeking t-shirt sponsorships from local businesses and families. If you would like to be a Tiger Trot sponsor, please complete a sponsorship form or email jog-a-thon chair Christy Pettit at pettitrc@att.net.
- Thanks to our community partnership with McFarlin Methodist Church, we will have grade-level tutoring available beginning next week. These volunteers will work one-on-one and in small groups with students who need extra support in core subjects.
Thank you for all you do in support of your student. We appreciate our Jackson families and encourage you to contact the office if we can be of assistance at any time.
Sincerely,
Dr. Craig Stevens, Principal
