Soyons Joyeux!
An incredible morning!
Thanks to sponsors at the UO who have students at 4J schools, this morning Charlemagne was visited by a dance troupe from Ghana. All classes attended high energy assemblies that included unicycle routines and juggling. All the students and staff learned how to dance Ghanian style!
Reminder: No School on October 13
October 13 is a Professional Development day for staff. School will not be in session.
