Upcoming Events
Fall Picture Day
Running Club
Students can join running club at any time!
Running club is for all kids in grades k-5 and open to all abilities. We will run on Tuesday/Thursday 4-4:40 pm. Please make sure kids have running shoes, water and appropriate clothing as the weather begins to cool down. Parents are expected to pick up promptly. It's not too late to signup. Parents and kids are all welcome to attend as you are able.
We play! We run! We dance! And most of all, we have fun! The key is to move our bodies and enjoy the company of one another!
The last event is the Return of the Turkey Trot 5K on November 10. This race is optional but always a fun event. A big thanks to volunteer Kim Malcolm for heading running club this year. If you have any questions contact her at klmalcolm2001@gmail.com.
Staff Learning Day - NO SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS
Book Fair
Monday, Oct.22nd – Friday, Oct. 26th
More details to come!
Trunk or Treat
Join us in the school parking lot for some candy and fun.
We will line the cars up in a large circle in the school parking lot with the trunks facing out. You can decorate your trunk with just a bucket of treats or with a lot of Halloween decor. It doesn’t need to be elaborate to participate.
This is a great time for the kids to show off their Halloween costumes with their friends and have fun.

Jackson Parking Lot/Playground
Halloween Parade of Costumes
ALL costumes must be school appropriate. No scary (blood and gore) or weapon driven costumes. Also please, no hair color, or extreme make-up. All students will be changing into costumes at the same time, so costumes that can be slipped on over the clothes they wear to school would be greatly appreciated.
Classroom Parties will follow the parade.
