Please use THIS LINK to provide a shout-out to a staff member who deserves a pat on the back!

Mr. Dama: My daughter has the most amazing things to say about Mr. Dama. She shares that he is always willing to help her in class and he makes her feel welcome by giving her high fives in the hallway. He connects with her and helps her to enjoy math. We appreciate his kindness and positivity immensely.

The new Unified Tigers Club at Taylor Road middle school participated in the JCPD's annual 5K for Special Olympics on Saturday, November 23rd!
