A Championship Visit at JAG Elementary!
James A. Garfield Elementary was honored to welcome Ohio Lt. Governor Jim Tressel as he visited our students to promote the Team Tressel Fitness Challenge and encourage healthy habits that will last a lifetime.
During his presentation, our JAG students recognized Coach Tressel for exemplifying our core values by presenting him with a JAGTag—a small token of appreciation for a lifetime of leadership, character, and service.
In return, Lt. Governor Tressel presented our Physical Education teacher, Heidi Drumheller, with a special Wilson football designating JAG Elementary as a Wilson Championship School! This recognition celebrates our commitment to helping students develop healthy habits through proper nutrition, adequate sleep, physical fitness, and goal-setting.
A special thank-you to Ohio State and NFL great Mike Adams and members of the Kent State University Football Team for joining us and helping lead the fitness exercises. Your energy, enthusiasm, and encouragement helped make the experience memorable for our students!
We are grateful to Coach Tressel and all of our special guests for taking the time to inspire our students and remind them that being a champion extends far beyond the playing field. It is about making positive choices, setting goals, and striving to be our best every day.
Thank you for an unforgettable visit! Go G-Men!

ALL ABOARD, G-MEN!
Today we’re celebrating some outstanding JAG Elementary G-Men who have earned JAGTags for demonstrating what it means to live out our G-Men values:
Respect
Responsibility
Engagement
Kindness
These students are more than just earning a JAGTag—they are showing us what it looks like to make a positive difference in our school community. They are helping others, making good choices, getting involved, treating people with respect, and showing kindness along the way.
This year, our theme is “ALL ABOARD – Every Journey Matters,” and these G-Men are proving that every journey really does matter.
September's theme, “Journey Junction,” reminds us of the importance of building strong relationships and connections. These students are making those connections every day and helping make JAG Elementary a place where everyone feels valued, welcomed, and part of the journey.
Congratulations to our JAGTag recipients! Keep leading the way, G-Men!
Every journey matters. Every connection matters. Every G-Man matters.
