Don’t wait until the end, celebrate the gains that you see happening everyday within yourself, your students and your overall classroom.

Mrs. Vellenger On Veteran's Day, Mrs. Vellenger’s class made a card for some of our Navy Seal's over seas. She sent them a picture of the class with the letter and then today, her class received a picture back from the Navy of them with the card!! Kudo’s to you and your students for learning beyond the “village” and sharing your thoughts with the men and women who are serving our country. :) | Jenkins Elementary students collaborate with our United States Navy Seals and get a warm smile back. | A big shout out to Chardell Taylor She motivates and challenges her students to achieve excellence in their learning.
