We set aside this week each year to show our appreciation to our faculty and staff for their service to all of our families. The PTO and Administration will be providing various treats throughout that week but you are welcome to show your support and thanks to your teachers and staff as well! Have your child make a card, write a letter, send an email, etc. Any expressions of thanks would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you to everyone who participated and gave so generously to the mission of the Jackson family!
