Boyd Elementary School - JPS

Teacher Appreciation Week has been amazing! Thank you to our administrators and staff for the thoughtful gifts, Fresh Start Christian Church for providing lunch, and The Word Center for stopping by with a kind letter, breakfast, and snacks. And we can’t forget our sweet students—we appreciate all the love and smiles ❤️😊

Nothing but fun as we wrap up an amazing school year 🎉

Our 2nd graders had a great time celebrating Earth Day! 🌱 They learned the importance of keeping our Earth clean and how even small actions can make a big difference.

Career Day 2026 Post Long Overdue
Our scholars had an amazing experience learning about different careers. We were honored to have some of our amazing parents/friends come in and share about their careers with our scholars. Thank you to everyone who helped make this day meaningful and inspiring!

So many amazing things happened this week at our school ! We kicked off 3rd grade MAAP testing, our exciting Cereal Box Domino Effect, celebrating our Accelerated Readers with ice cream, and recognizing scholars for their growth.

Happy National Assistant Principal Week DrTasha Liggans Younger !

Thank you for your leadership, dedication, and the countless ways you support our students, teachers, and school community each day. We appreciate all that you do!

Today, we had the honor of sending off all of our donated cereal boxes with Pastor Arnold to The Lord’s Food Pantry — a community food bank serving Central Mississippi.

This amazing organization feeds about 700 families each month, and we are so grateful our scholars could be a part of giving back in such a meaningful way 💛

Thank you to everyone who donated and supported our Cereal Box Challenge!
