JIB JAB CHRISTMAS FAVORITES
BUCCANEER BRAVOS - WELL DESERVED BY ALL!
Please take time for yourselves over the winter holiday. Relax, recharge, binge watch, read books, pamper yourself, have adventures, avoid adventures and stay in your PJ's, set that email auto-reply, and breathe!
There are no building hours - so once you walk out the door, don't plan to be back until a few days into 2019!
We love and appreciate each and every one of you!
SCHOOL SUPPLIES - 2019-2020
Grade Level Teams:
