💙💛 What an incredible Open House at The WINK! 💛💙

Our campus was filled with smiling faces, excited scholars, supportive families, and the unmistakable spirit of JPS Joy! It was a wonderful opportunity for families to complete school registration, meet our amazing teachers, greet the principal, tour the campus, and preview the engaging learning experiences that await our scholars this year.

Families also connected with valuable resources by registering for the RISE 360 Afterschool Program and enrolling in medical, vision, and dental services through the Jackson-Hinds Health Center—helping ensure our scholars are ready to learn and thrive from day one.
Thank you to every family, staff member, community partner, and volunteer who helped make this event such a tremendous success. Your enthusiasm, partnership, and commitment to our scholars remind us that together, we can accomplish amazing things.

Here's to a Van Wonderful year of teaching and learning at The WINK, where excellence is the expectation! 💙⭐💛Jackson Public Schools

A new school year brings new opportunities, fresh beginnings, and limitless potential. At Van Winkle, we remain committed to creating a culture where every scholar is valued, every lesson has purpose, and excellence is our standard—not our goal.

Together, we will inspire, empower, and lead as we cultivate curious minds, confident hearts, and lifelong learners. Here's to another Van Wonderful year of teaching, learning, growing, and celebrating every success along the way!
