Principal Message - October 7th

Greetings Husky Families

Week 7 at Jahn provides you with an opportunity to join us on campus this week.  Tuesday is our Literacy and Math Night.  This event, which takes place from 4 to 6 pm allows you to visit our entire campus.  Once you enter the building, you will be provided with materials that explain the activities happening that evening and their location.  Feel free to explore as much as you like during your time here.  This will be a fun experience for everyone.  

During the day on Tuesday, please remember to say “cheese” as we take our Fall pictures.  

Just a friendly reminder:  Monday, October 14th is Indigenous Peoples’ Day.  Although this is a non-attendance day for everyone, we encourage you to take time to learn the true meaning behind those who inhabited America.  Encounter by Jane Yolen is an excellent book that provides the truth through pictures.  

In the meantime, continue to celebrate Latinx and Indigenous Peoples’ month and our SEL theme for the month of October is Anti-Bullying.  

Have an amazing week.  

Dr. Kimbrough and Dr. Ferreras
