Birdwatching on the Greenbelt and The School Song

JJ's Kindergarten Crew went on a greenbelt walk this week to do some bird watching! Check out this awesome photo of the kids practicing to use binoculars and this great video of them singing our school song!

Cup Stack Relay

This week in PE with Tanya the students practiced their motor skills and speed skills in a cup-stack relay! Teams will send a person to stack 15 cups, then collapse the stack to run and tag in another team member. These kids might have a future in competitive cup stacking after this!

Student Hiring Comittee!

Some of you may know that we are hiring for additonal teaching staff and an Assistant Education Director for the next school year! The hiring process has begun, with formal interviews taking place this week for the AED job.

Our process is particularly unique, and we want to highlight our student comittee that helps with the interviews! This years comittee has two 2nd Graders, two 4th Graders, two 6th Graders and two JHers. This team is instrumental in helping us determine the fit for our candidates!
