At JCA West, each grade is paired with another grade as classroom buddies for the year. This gives students an opportunity to build relationships with students they may not otherwise get to know throughout the school year.

Kindergarten and third graders recently wrote welcome letters and created welcome pictures for their buddies as part of our theme this year, Hospitality: welcoming others as Christ has welcomed us.

JCA West had its first Donuts & Discussion chapel of the year!

Students spent time mixing and mingling with their buddies, enjoying some donuts, and answering fun questions along with application questions connected to what we have been learning in chapel.

It is a special time for students to share their thoughts, listen to others, and get to know one another better. We also emphasized the importance of doing what we say we are going to do and following through on our words and commitments.
