Principal Weekly Update to Families

Brief Message From the Principal

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Veterans! 🇺🇸

A huge shoutout to our USD 346 community for the wonderful support of our district-wide Veterans Day ceremony! We especially want to recognize and thank the veterans who attended, along with the many veterans who are part of our extended Jayhawk family. We are forever grateful for their service, sacrifice, and commitment to protecting our freedoms. It is important that we take time to recognize these individuals and remind our students of the meaning behind their service. Thank you, veterans!

A Special Jayhawk Tradition Continues! 🦃

One of the things that makes small-town schools so special is the traditions that bring generations of families together. For approximately 30 years, give or take, Jayhawk Elementary has hosted a Thanksgiving performance featuring our 5th grade students in a special play production.

We are excited to continue this tradition again this year! Both 5th grade classes will perform on Tuesday, November 24th, and we would love to welcome the families of our 5th grade students to attend. These performances are more than just a school program; they are a reflection of the memories, connections, and traditions that make JES such a special place. We look forward to sharing this year's production with you!

Fall Weather Is Here! 🍂

As temperatures in Mound City begin to drop and we move toward the winter season, we encourage families to make sure students have access to warm coats, hats, and gloves each day. Morning temperatures are becoming colder, and students still spend time outdoors for arrival, recess, and other activities when weather permits.

Having appropriate cold-weather clothing helps ensure our students stay comfortable and can safely enjoy their time outside. Thank you for helping us prepare for the changing seasons!
