VIDEO ORDERS
Order forms for the 5th Grade Video - JACKSON “THROUGH THE YEARS” - were sent home two weeks ago in Tuesday folders. A professional video with photos highlighting the students' years at Jackson will be shown during the end-of-year events planned for our 5th graders. This video is available for purchase, along with a video of the 5th grade musical, The Little Mermaid.
These videos are available for $20 each or $30 for both.
We will be mailing completed copies out in June with bonus footage that includes the special end-of-year events that occur during the month of May. Please return your order form, payment and the enclosed self-addressed envelope by Friday, May 18th. You can pay by check, cash or online at the school store.
GRADUATION CEREMONY
The Warren T. Jackson 5th Grade Promotion Ceremony will take place on Wednesday, May 23rd at 5:30pm at North Atlanta High School, located at 4111 Northside Parkway NW. The ceremony will be held in the gymnasium and should last approximately one hour, with a short reception and very light refreshments immediately following. Girls are asked to wear summer dresses (of any color) and the boys are asked to wear coat and tie. You will be receiving more details prior to the ceremony. We are excited to celebrate our 5th grade Jaguars and all of their hard work!
