Wear your JAE shirts and gear, and show your JAGUAR PRIDE!!!
Both of our PTOs are working together to make this a great Spirit Night event filled with fun, food, and fellowship between our two schools. This was Dr. Holt's idea, and I think it's spectacular! We are hoping to find future opportunities to make meaningful connections in our community.
