Yesterday, Fifth Graders created dancing dragons after learning about traditions and celebrations with the start of the Lunar New Year. (February 1, 2022 is the most important day in the Chinese calendar.)

Third graders were very excited to welcome parents via Zoom this afternoon to help them celebrate the completion of their nonfiction reports!

Brookside kindergarteners are practicing their independent reading skills. Read the words, read the pictures and retell the story to yourself.




JFG third-graders celebrate their nonfiction writing the best way they know how...with their peers! Post-it compliments from friends offered a true focus on their strengths to become better writers!

Our Academic Decathlon Team (WACADECA) preparing for their competition tomorrow! Good luck! Go Cards!

We kicked off The Great Kindness Challenge and transformed JFG into K.I.N.D Headquarters! Our JFG Cardinals were on a mission - start completing as many acts of kindness on the GKC checklist as they can! We have a week of missions ahead and we know they can do it!





Just a tiny example of what can happen when a school community sticks together! Challenges can only make us stronger! Looking forward to celebrating the best of 100 days and many more to come! #oneproudprincipal
