Honoring Our Hometown Heroes!
Today, James A. Garfield Elementary had the incredible privilege of welcoming our Veteran parents, grandparents, and family members for our annual Veterans Day Assembly!
Our JAG students proudly honored these amazing men and women who have served our great nation through patriotic artwork created by our Student Leadership Team (SLT), a beautiful patriotic performance by our Youth Choir, and special recognition of all branches of the United States Armed Forces by our SLT students.
We were also honored to have JAG teacher, Marine Veteran, and Military Family Liaison Mr. Chris Forgacs lead an engaging, interactive presentation that helped our students better understand the meaning of service, sacrifice, and patriotism! Mr. Forgacs demonstrated the proper way to respectfully fold the American flag and taught students the technical terminology for the different parts of our nation's flag, including the union, canton, field, and stripes. This hands-on experience provided our students with a greater appreciation for the history, symbolism, and traditions surrounding the American flag!
A special THANK YOU to Student and Family Liaison Kristi Fiorentino, SLT Advisor Allison Ester, and Youth Choir Director Joel Logan for their tremendous time, dedication, and thoughtful planning in helping our students create such a meaningful tribute to our Hometown Heroes!
Most importantly, THANK YOU to all of our Veterans! Your courage, sacrifice, and commitment to protecting our freedoms are an inspiration to our students and our entire JAG community. We are forever grateful for your service!
ALL ABOARD TOGETHER – Every Journey Matters!
Happy Veterans Day from your JAG Elementary Family!

💚 GO GREEN FOR RIVER! 💚
Today, Friday, October 23, our James A. Garfield Elementary 5th and 6th grade students and staff proudly wore GREEN in recognition of Kabuki Syndrome Awareness Day and, most importantly, to show their love and support for their friend and classmate, River Ziska! 💚
Kabuki Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder affecting approximately 1 in every 32,000 births worldwide. Individuals with Kabuki Syndrome may experience a variety of physical, developmental, and learning challenges, including growth delays, low muscle tone, heart defects, and communication difficulties. The syndrome affects each individual differently, making awareness, understanding, and acceptance so important.
Today was about more than wearing green. It was about friendship, kindness, inclusion, and standing together as one G-Men family! 💚
We are incredibly proud of our students and staff for showing River that she is surrounded by a school community that cares about her and celebrates what makes each of us unique.
River, today we wore GREEN for YOU! 💚

We can't get enough of these beautiful fall recess days! Students are soaking up the fun and fall! #fall #recess #JAG
JAG Elementary staff had some fun participating in an "supersize" underground spirit day. Staff had to use or wear oversized items as see if the students would notice. #SpiritDay #JAGElementary
