14 of our students accomplished an amazing goal today- they ran a 5K!!! Our Girls on the Run after school program taught these 3-5 grade girls to have BOLD hearts, set goals, and accomplish difficult tasks. We are SO proud of them!!

You’re invited to our 3rd annual Spring Fling, Academic Showcase! Please join us on Friday, May 22, to enjoy lunch with your student (lunches will only be available for Jackson students), learn about some really great things they have been doing in their classrooms, and spend time celebrating their growth this year academically and in related arts classes. Please see the attached schedule for times.

We ask that if you have students in multiple grade levels, they remain with their own classrooms. Students and classrooms will not be available until their designated start time. Please check the schedule to see times for each individual grade level. Doors open at 10 am for 2nd grade.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Ms. Carter or your student's classroom teacher. We look forward to sharing student growth with you!

***Start times are highlighted for each grade level. If your grade level starts in extended core please meet your student in their classroom.

It was wonderful to see our students’ artwork showcased at Mainframe yesterday evening. Our students represented Jackson with pride, and we are so proud of their creativity and hard work. Thank you to all the families that came out and supported our students. A special shout‑out to Mrs. Maffucci for her dedication and hard work in making this evening such a memorable experience!
