Happy Thanksgiving, MJ Families

This is the time of year we take stock in what is important in our lives. The Marion Jordan community is certainly one filled with outstanding members. Talented teachers, superior students, and fantastic families make up this school community I am so proud to be a part of. Individually and collectively we have so much to be thankful for. May you enjoy time with family and friends, partake in delicious food, and rest up for the whirlwind the coming weeks will be. Enjoy a few highlights from our past few weeks. Happy Thanksgiving, MJ!

Enjoy a recap of our school-wide recognition of those who do or have served in the armed forces.

We earned a Turkey Trot celebration and were so EXCITED to see our very own mascot, Jay Jay, take on a turkey in a foot race! Congrats to the turkey for his win!

Students also ran in a Turkey Trot of their own.

The library is literally the hub of our school. This has been a month of fun and educational activities with Mrs. Howard.

So many different countries were highlighted during our Multicultural Night! Thanks to those who shared information about customs, celebrations and food from their country of origin.
