💚 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! 💚

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

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!
