Mrs. Volentine's class discussed 9/11 and they created their own definition of a HERO. They are spot on!
Dear Jackson Families,
Looking forward to another fun filled week,
Jill Cliburn, Principal
Counselor's Corner
Stock the Lounge Project
The first few weeks of school are some of the busiest days of the year for our teachers. They typically have only a few minutes to grab a quick snack or bite for lunch as they prepare for the next fun part of the students' day.
We would love to be able to stock our teacher's lounge with extra snacks and drinks as we kick off this exciting year. You can drop these items off in the office any time.
Thank you so much for considering contributing to this project!

IF IT IS NECESSARY FOR YOU TO GET OUT OF THE CAR, PLEASE PARK IN A PARKING SPACE AND WE WILL HELP ESCORT YOU OR YOUR CHILD ACROSS THE DRIVE.
