Hi Jackson Families!

We are one week out until our annual Jaguar Jog! Tuesday, October 3rd from 9-11am is the live event. This year we are working on teamwork and community to earn class and school prizes in donations, laps and sportsmanship. Don’t worry, each kiddo will also receive a swag bag of goodies for participating. Jog-a-thon is one of our biggest fundraisers for Jackson. This event helps provide field trips, clubs, special learning tools for classes just to name a few. Even though the name says jog, your child is welcome to walk, skip or move in a way that feels appropriate for them. Uberthons sets up a race type atmosphere where each kid gets a personalized bib, race start and finish line and of course music. While many enjoy the fun vibes of the music, it can be loud for many. If your child is sensitive to loud music, sending them with ear protection might make them more comfortable. To set up your child’s donation page here is the link and directions: Collect pledges via our 99Pledges donation page, https://app.99pledges.com/fund/jackson23 click “Add participant” near the bottom of the page to add your student. Please include their teacher under the Group section

If you are picking up your student in a vehicle, we are requesting that you put your student's name and teacher on a piece of paper. Please put on your dash, so the staff doing pick-up duty can read it. With that said, it will need to be large enough for us to see. We think this would help with speeding up the process. Thank you for working with us to make things more efficient.

All kids should feel safe and be safe at school. SafeOregon gives kids, parents, schools, and their communities a way to confidentially or anonymously report safety threats or potential acts of violence. Together, we'll empower people to speak out and spark change. One tip can save a life.
