BIG NEWS FROM ONE OF OUR VERY OWN JFG KIDS!

We are bursting with pride and excitement to celebrate Chiara, who has been selected as a Scholastic News Kid Reporter for the 2026–2027 school year!

As a Kid Reporter, Chiara will have the incredible opportunity to conduct interviews and write articles about local and national events as they relate to the literary world, putting her curiosity, creativity, and love of storytelling into action!

And this opportunity couldn’t be more perfect for Chiara. Her dream is to become an author of realistic fiction novels when she grows up, and she’s already taking an amazing step toward that dream!

We couldn’t be prouder to see one of our JFG kids embracing her voice, pursuing her passions, and making her mark as a young writer and reporter.

Congratulations, Chiara! We can’t wait to follow along as you share your stories and experiences with the world. Keep writing, keep asking questions, and keep dreaming BIG! #MakingOneLeaderAtATime #JustFocusonGrowing

As we begin our Week of Respect, let’s remember that respect starts with treating one another with kindness, compassion, patience, and love.

This video is a beautiful reminder that every smile, every helping hand, every encouraging word, and every moment of connection can make a difference. We never truly know what someone else may be carrying, so let’s choose to lead with kindness and make our school a place where everyone feels seen, valued, welcomed, and respected.

THANK YOU, Ms. Kim and ALL our JFG kids, for such an amazing tribute to this week and the whole year ahead! CLICK THE LINK BELOW and ENJOY! #JustFocusonGrowing

We were so excited to welcome Matthew to our school for a truly inspiring performance that captivated our students and staff.

A proud product of public education and a graduate of The Juilliard School, Matthew shared his incredible musical talent along with a powerful message about the ability of music to connect and inspire. His performance filled our school with joy and sparked curiosity and appreciation for the arts among our students.

We also loved celebrating a special connection; Matthew is the beloved brother of our very own kindergarten teacher, Ms. Brown!

Beyond performing, Matthew serves as the Artist in Residence at Augustana University, where he mentors the next generation of musicians, and he is also an advocate for accessibility, working to improve experiences for people with disabilities.

We are so grateful for the energy, inspiration, and meaningful experience he brought to our school community. #JustFocusonGrowing
