Principal Message -
Trick or Treat Street was amazing last night. I wanted to personally thank the teachers and students in the secondary school who spent a lot of time and energy decorating and entertaining our wonderful elementary community at their school. I received so many positive remarks about this event this year… “Mr. Feddema, this was the best Trick or Treat st, we, as a family, have ever been too”... “those secondary students are wonderful”. I concur.
We have some cool events coming up:
Kids Craft Night on November 19th at the JA Secondary from 5:30-7:00pm. Kids will be making thanksgiving or other holiday crafts for the night with NAHS, see Flyer for more information.
The 4th grade Veterans Day Performance is on Wednesday November 11th at 10am in the Big Gym. All visitors may park in the main lot and enter through the main entrance. Please be mindful that classes are in session, so you will not be able to roam the building before or after the event. For security purposes, we ask that you go to the gym and then head out after the event. If you need special seating, please email Courtney DeBenning at cdebenning@jajags.com. Thank you.
