This Week at Jackson Elementary
November 5, 2026
Jackson Families,
As we move through November, my heart continues to be full of gratitude. Next week, we will take time to honor the veterans in our Jackson community. Freedom is never free. It is protected by men and women who chose to serve something greater than themselves, and we are thankful for their courage, sacrifice, and commitment to our country. To the veterans who are part of our families and our community, thank you. We are proud to honor you, and we hope our students learn from your example what service, responsibility, and sacrifice look like.
The following week, we will celebrate another group of people who make a difference in the lives of our students. Grandparents and Special Friends Day is a chance to welcome the family members and loved ones who cheer our children on, listen to their stories, and love them well. The care these special people show helps our students show up as their best selves, and our students carry that kindness into our classrooms, hallways, and friendships. We can’t wait to welcome them to campus.
In this season of Thanksgiving, I hope we all pause to thank the people who have served us, supported us, and loved us. We are so grateful to be surrounded by that kind of community at Jackson.
Warm regards,
Mrs. Reynolds
Principal

Attend Family Shopping Night on Wednesday, November 18th from 3:30 to 6:30 pm. Parents, grandparents, and special friends can also shop with their student after the Special Friends Lunches on Thursday, November 19th and Friday, November 20th. Don't forget to check out your teachers' wish lists while you are here!
Want to make shopping easy? Set up a Book Fair eWallet, a digital payment account that lets your child shop for books at the Book Fair without cash.
