Chartwells, our food service provider, hosted an "Eat the Rainbow" Mood Boosting activity during lunch waves. The goal is to expose students (and adults) to a variety of healthy foods and help increase understanding how food can help boost our mood, energy, and overall vitality.

Big thank you to our students and staff this week. Two unique events, a special election on Tuesday and an alternate arrival procedures on Wednesday, called for flexibility and cooperation. Our students and staff did a great job and our school days were minimally impacted. We (and you) have great students and a committed team of Caring Adults at JWL.
