Principal Message - October 28th

As we enter the 2nd quarter, we want to take a moment and bring to your attention a few upcoming events. By the time this week ends, we will be saying good-bye to October and welcoming November.

The upcoming Day of the Dead celebration that happens in Mexico and parts of Central America provides us with a great opportunity to teacher all our students about the traditions and beliefs of people from different backgrounds.

Jahn Chipotle Dining Night (8th Grade Fundraiser)

Please support the 8th grade class by dining with them at Chipotle at 3312 N Western Ave on Wednesday, November 6th from 4-8 pm. Mention Jahn at checkout and 25% of all sales will be donated back to them to be used towards their class trip to NYC in the spring.

Jahn Family Dance - Please Respond

On Friday, November 8th from 6-8 pm, "Let's Glow Crazy" at the Linda & Bill Gantz Boys & Girls Club of Chicago for the Jahn Family Dance. Pizza and drinks will be provided for this FREE event for PreK-8 families. Please read more to let us know if you plan on attending!

Poppin' Good Fundraiser (formerly Poptober)

Starting Nov. 11th thru the 15th, Jahn families are invited to sell popcorn through a Double Good popcorn virtual fundraiser. Formerly known as Poptober, it's still 100% contactless, we still keep 50% of all sales, and the same delicious popcorn ships directly to the buyer.

Principal’s Message

Greetings Jahn Families and Community!

It is with great pleasure that I write to you as a committed member of this great institution of learning. As the principal of Jahn School of Fine Arts, I look forward to working with you throughout the school year. I am extremely excited to be a part of the Husky family and look forward to the continuance of great work on Wolcott Street.

I am honored to lead this work alongside you, and I am confident we will accomplish amazing feats together. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you might have around things happening at Jahn. Here’s to the start of our powerful partnership.

-Dr. Derrick Kimbrough, Principal

Empowering Creative Thinkers

Our students are the center and soul of our school. At Jahn, we strive to empower them to be lifelong learners and use the arts as communication, creative personal realization, connectors of culture and history, a means to wellbeing, and community engagement.

See what our students are creating!
