The Jones Journal

Dear Jones Elementary,

Welcome to December! As we approach the final month of the year, I want to take a moment to express how proud we are of all the hard work and growth our students have shown so far this school year. December is a time for reflection, celebration, and togetherness. It’s a month filled with exciting opportunities to learn, share, and spread kindness. Please encourage your student to finish this year strong, whether through completing a special project, helping a classmate, or simply showing gratitude for the wonderful community we are all a part of. Let’s make this December a month of joy, learning, and giving back. I’m excited for all that’s to come!

Warmly,

Anyahlyn Dillon
