🌎🚀 3…2…1…BLAST OFF! 🪐✨

HJK students took a trip through the stars today with the Mobile Ed SkyDome Planetarium! With space as this year’s school theme, it was the perfect way to bring learning to life.

A big thank-you to the HJK PTO for sponsoring this special experience and to PTO President Jessica Pendley for helping make it happen! 💙

🎨 Teacher Tuesday

Mrs. Bennett’s Jackson County story has come full circle - from student to educator of 27 years.

In her own words:

“Teaching art is more than a profession to me - it is a passion. I love watching students discover their own unique artistic voices and seeing the excitement that comes from creating something they can truly call their own.

Art gives children the freedom to explore, take risks, express themselves, and see the world in new ways. My greatest joy as an art teacher is creating a space where every student feels that their ideas matter and that there are endless possibilities waiting to be explored.”
