Click here to view the first edition of the Jaguar Den created by the Better Together Club. Better Together is a dynamic group of 5th-grade students at DuJardin who are passionate about fostering a sense of community across all grade levels. This club collaborates to write and publish a school-wide newspaper that highlights events, achievements, and stories from every grade. In addition to their journalistic efforts, the members of Better Together serve as mentors, creating inclusive spaces where all students feel welcome and valued. Through their leadership and commitment, they aim to strengthen connections throughout the school, ensuring that every student has a voice and feels a part of the DuJardin family.
