Our 4th graders were gifted the book of poems by Shel Silverstein titled, "Where the Sidewalk Ends". Community members from public safety as well as the United Way distributed the books to students who throughly enjoyed the humorous selection. Students and community members read their favorite selections out loud to the group. It was a great way to promote a love for reading!

Bike, Walk or Move day was last week and it was exciting to see so many of our JAGS getting physically active to encourage health and wellness!

Below are the links for the music concerts. A HUGE THANK YOU to Mandy Stenzel for all her work to record and edit this event so we can share it with families. Along with our music teachers, Ms. Payne and Ms. Chambers...the concerts were a huge success!
