🇺🇸🚌 And They’re Off! 🚌🇺🇸
Bright and early this morning, our sixth graders hit the road for their unforgettable trip to Washington, D.C.!
Over the next two days, they’ll visit the White House, world-famous memorials, the Smithsonian, Ford’s Theater, the Pentagon Memorial, and witness the solemn Changing of the Guard at Arlington National Cemetery.
Wishing our students and chaperones a safe, fun, and educational adventure — we can’t wait to hear all about it when they return tomorrow evening! 💛🖤 #JAG6thGrade #DCTrip #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #GMenOnTheMove


🎶✨ Kindergarten Sing-Along Brings the House Down! ✨🎶
Last night, our gym was packed with proud families and filled with music as our Kindergarten students stole the show during their Sing-Along under the direction of Mr. Logan.
From classics like The Wheels on the Bus and B-I-N-G-O to Mr. Logan’s personal favorite, Five Green and Speckled Frogs, the kids sang their hearts out! Even better — several songs had the whole crowd joining in, proving once again that “A community that sings together stays together!”
What a wonderful evening celebrating music, smiles, and togetherness. Great job, Kindergarten! 💛🖤 #JAGPride #KindergartenSingAlong #CommunityThroughMusic



Hooray! Go kids go!
