🍽 Did You Know?
To count as a complete meal under USDA guidelines, school breakfasts and lunches are made up of a mix of healthy food groups. This variety helps give students the balanced nutrition that supports focus, energy, and learning all day long! 🥦📚 Thank you for helping us to reduce food waste by encouraging your student to "Take what you like and eat what you take!"
What an incredible first day, JCS! From big smiles at the bus stops to high-fives in the hallways, our schools were buzzing with energy, laughter & learning. Here's to a year filled with new friendships, exciting challenges, and unforgettable moments-today was just the beginning! 💙
We're ready-big smiles, big energy, and big plans for the year ahead. Let's do this, JCS!
#WeAreJessamine #BackToSchool
To all the students walking through those doors tomorrow, remember that you've got this! Embrace the new friends, the new lessons, and all the possibilities that this year holds.
To the parents/guardians sending their little (or not-so-little) ones off, take a deep breath. You've done an incredible job getting them ready, and now it's their time to shine.
And to the amazing teachers and staff, thank you for all you do. You're shaping the future one classroom at a time.
Wishing everyone a wonderful and successful school year ahead! Let's make it a great one. ❤️
Sweet Success! 🍦
What better way to celebrate success than with an ice cream party? Our JCS summer program students who crushed their i-Ready testing goals this summer had a blast celebrating all their hard work!
