2nd-5th Grade Cardboard Challenge Family Night, September 26th
This will be the fourth year for Jack Anderson Elementary to participate in the Cardboard Challenge. The first year, the students built arcade games with inspiration from Caine Monroy. "9-year-old Caine Monroy spent his summer vacation building an elaborate cardboard arcade inside his dad’s used auto parts store. The entire summer went by, and he never had a single customer. But Caine didn’t give up." Watch this video, and I guarantee that you will be inspired, too! Cain's Arcade Video
By including elements from Social Studies, ELA, Math, and Science, students were able to connect content areas to their cardboard creations.
We are inviting our families to experience our students' creations this year. Please join us on September 26th between 5-7:00 p.m. to see how learning has come to life as our amazing students share their knowledge.
Kindergarten and First Grade will have a STEM Family Night in the spring, but we'd love for your families to join us this Thursday night, too. You'll be amazed by what the students have created.
Dr. Jennifer Brown Rose & Learning Garden Dedication
JAE Families, community members, and central office staff will celebrate the beautiful life that inspired the spectacular addition to our campus.

1 Lunch Visit Per Week, Goodbyes at the Cafe Door
You will need to sign in with our Lobby Guard in the front office upon arriving. It is helpful to have your license ready. Federal Nutrition Guidelines prohibit bringing outside restaurant or fast food items to share with your child during lunch.
When your child gets to the cafeteria, you may accompany him/her through the cafe line (if needed,) and sit at one of the tables in the cafeteria lobby. There is not enough room in the cafeteria to accommodate all of our students and guests.
After lunch, please say your goodbyes at the cafeteria door. We ask that visitors do not accompany students back to the classroom.
Fridays are SUPER busy days for lunch visitors, so if possible, you may want to try another day. I visited with my child on Wednesday, and there was PLENTY of space. :)
