Guess what?! We are now accepting applications for our 2027 Jaxson Scholarship, and we can’t stop smiling about it! 😄

The Jaxson Scholarship is a full-ride academic scholarship to a private educational institution from preschool through higher education. 💛

Additionally, JWAS provides customized leadership programming throughout the year to develop the minds, hearts, and spirits of our Jaxson Scholars and their families. ⭐️

For a child lost, a gift is given.

Last month, the JWAS Team took some time to focus on both professional development and team bonding! ❤️✨

We kicked things off with some friendly competition on the pickleball court, which was filled with lots of fun and laughter. 🏓 Congratulations to Chloe and Mary on the win! 👏 Jeanie and Sarah are already looking forward to the rematch! 😉

After pickleball, we gathered for a thoughtful discussion of the first half of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey, reflecting on lessons about personal responsibility, leadership, and effectiveness. 📚💡

We love taking time to learn, grow, connect, and have fun together! Go Team JWAS!❤️

“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.” - Helen Keller ❤️

We love our leadership programming and the meaningful spaces it creates for our JWAS families. As part of our Trilogy of Care, our men’s and women’s breakout groups give parents a space to connect, be open, and share what’s on their hearts. Through listening, encouraging, and growing together, our parents remind us of the beauty of community and connection. 🌟
