Week of November 18th - November 22nd
📣Jaguar Families
Today we had another Club Day during GROWL. This is something new that we started halfway through last school year and students and staff seem to really enjoy it. Clubs are offered during GROWL and students can sign up for one to participate in for a certain amount of sessions. Some examples of our clubs are: Climate Action Club, Hiking Club, Drama Club, Hair care Club, Chess Club, Fitness, Strength & Wellness Club, Campus Clean Up Crew Club, etc…it’s a lot of fun for all - ask your Jaguar which one they participate in.
Next week, we are at school Monday and Tuesday and then go on a three day holiday break. Tuesday is ICA Day, as well.
Thank you for your support!
Respectfully,
Ashby Johnson, Principal
