Principal's Message
Good afternoon Junior Jacket families,
As the school year comes to a close, we want to thank all of our wonderful parents and community members for their support throughout this school year. I am continuously honored to be a part of such a wonderful school community filled with amazing students, dedicated teachers, and supportive and active families. I have been fortunate to witness what an amazing school community this is over the years, and I cherish every day and opportunity I get with these students.
I hope you all have a wonderful, restful, and relaxing summer spent with family and friends. We are excited for what next school year holds and we can't wait to spend the last few precious days with our students before they transition to their next adventure in a new school or new grade level.
Happy last week of school for 22-23!

We would like to personally thank Ellen Liebert for going above and beyond in organizing lunches and doing all the ordering/shopping for all the supplies we needed. Our students had a great field day, even in the rain, and it would not have happened without all of you.
