We had so much fun at the JELV pumpkin patch! JELV has loved collaborating with JCTC students and staff to make this such a fun and enjoyable experience!

We are so proud of Nicci Turner's Kindergarten class for their progress towards their first CLS goal. Each student earned a work ethic badge. This is a great example of how CLS drives student growth!
Middle schoolers never cease to amaze us, and at WJMS, they've done it again—this time by asking for more opportunities to publicly thank their teachers! Whether it’s inspiring confidence in hands-on science labs, exploring the Colonial Regions with a sense of humor, or providing help with coding and micro-bits, we love that these JCS teachers approach each instructional moment with with intentionality, purpose, and joy!
