We were so happy to participate in the GaDOE Statewide Day of Service! ๐๐ป
JPB students and staff created a special โBears Careโ campaign to bring smiles to the faces of seniors in our community. Students collected adult activity books like crossword puzzles and Sudoku, and they also put their creativity to work by making student-decorated placemats and bookmarks to brighten someoneโs day.
We are so proud of our Bears for showing kindness, compassion, and community spirit! ๐ป๐โจ

๐ฅคโ๏ธLucky to be at JPB!
At JPB, we know that a school is only as strong as the people who show up for our students every day. To show our appreciation, the administration team set up a St. Patrickโs Day Dirty Soda Bar for our incredible staff!
Staff had a blast mixing up custom drinks like the Shamrock Sharpie and The Leprechaun. It was the perfect way to take a quick break, recharge, and enjoy some holiday spirit together.๐โจ
They say you find gold at the end of the rainbow, but we already found ours right hereโweโre so lucky to be at JPB! ๐๐ป
