Our annual Spread the Word Day is coming back in March and our theme this year is: I belong, you belong, We ALL Belong. We will be taking the time to celebrate people of ALL abilities during the week of March 25-29 with our big celebration in Gahanna-Jefferson Public Schools on Wednesday, March 27. T-shirts are on sale NOW through Feb. 19 at https://www.gahannapawprint.com/stw.

Thank you for your support!

BUSES

As a reminder, please know the time of your student's bus stop. We are happy to offer Here Comes the Bus as an aide for parents tracking their student's bus, but there may be some times when the app is not exact. We certainly do not want students to miss the bus, so please be sure your student is at their stop at the scheduled time. To remind yourself of your pickup time, visit our Transfinder page.

HEART & PRIDE

The Heart & Pride Nomination Form will remain available year-round and is open to any member of our staff, regardless of position.

The GJEF GALA is right around the corner!! Thank you in advance for your support! Please see the attached flyer!

The Bluejackets game we had planned on February 23 as a school event/fundraiser is sold out. WE HAVE 2 NEW DATES! Check them out. Support the CBJ and have fun with your friends at the game!

Winter weather and cold can have effect on all of us! This is especially true for our children. Please make sure your children are bundled up and feeling good. If you need any help with winter supplies or you are concerned about changes in your middle schooler, please let us know.
