Dolphin Splash

We are one family under a bright, blue sky. And like all families, we have our ups and downs, our conflicts and compromises, but at the end of the day, we are still a family: a JROB family and a LBUSD family. Together, in the stories we tell ourselves and each other, we discover the similarities in our experiences, the humanity that binds us. This past week, our commitment to unity has inspired me to continue to look for ways to celebrate JROB Dolphins and the values we hold dear to our heart.

One of the strongest connections that has been a tradition at Jackie Robinson is JROB News. In our teacher spotlights and staff and student interviews, we gain a deeper understanding of each other and ourselves. When we look around our diverse campus of abilities and disabilities, shades of skin color, young and old, staff and student, and everything in between, we are only as strong as our weakest link. And as a family, we must support each other to develop into a community and world better than the one we live in today.

So, as we finish up the last weeks of October, one of the most exciting and eventful months of the year, explore our JROB family and connect with someone different than yourself with an understanding mind and open heart. Discover all the abilities that we possess as a community and celebrate our differences.

Your proud principal,

Rebecca Ngo
