Principal's Message
Greetings from the Principal's Office!
Our Little Giants have enjoyed a fun week filled with lots of reading!
Students celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday by reading a lot of Dr. Seuss books! Teachers planned many literacy activities around these stories and students enjoyed guest readers from our Perry Township Central Office. Our school Superintendent Mr. Mapes, Associate Superintendent Mr. Sampson, Assistant Superintendent Mrs. Carpenter, and EL Director Mrs. Pollard visited with their favorite Seuss books. They thoroughly enjoyed reading to our Little Giants, and the kids loved it! It has been such a fun week of learning at JGKA.
Next week we will be back to our normal routines, and working hard to grow our students. Until then, enjoy your children and your weekend.
Love,
Mrs. Hansell
