Congratulations to the following students who were recognized as Jaguars of the Month for September by demonstrating the trait of Self-Control! Research has shown that exhibiting self-control at a young age can be a predictor of future success in school, work, and relationships! I predict Jackson students will have a lot of future success!

1st Grade: Landon Butler, Danna Ferrera, Austin Hammond, Carter Hopkins,, Jeremy Lira-Quintanilla, Alejandro Ruiz Bonilla

Our September Jaguars of the Month received recognition on JagTube and attended a breakfast this morning with Mrs. Roach, our Principal. Students also received a certificate, keychain, and a Jackson Jaguar pencil. Names will be displayed on the bulletin board near the front office.
The character trait for October is Obedience. We look forward to watching our students build on their character traits!
Thanks,
