We were honored to have a very special guest open our recent Board of Education meeting. Jase West, a standout student from Burdine Elementary, took the floor to lead the room in the Pledge of Allegiance.

It is always a proud moment for our district to see our youngest leaders step up with such confidence and patriotism. Jase represented Burdine Elementary with excellence, reminding us all of the bright future ahead for our students.

Meet our new friends in Preschool! Our preschoolers have been learning about the butterfly life cycle.
There were lots of “wows,” excited smiles, and gentle little hands helping care for the caterpillars. Learning truly comes alive through experiences like these. 💚⚔️

Cavalier Dadvocacy: Spring Refresh 🌱

Spring is a time to clear things out, refocus, and start fresh; not just around the house, but in our lives too. As dads, that might mean letting go of what’s not working, refocusing on what matters most, and finding new ways to show up for our kids.

📅 Tonight (Thursday, April 23rd) | 5:00–6:30 PM
📍 Jenkins High School

We’ll also have a Parent Café happening at the same time, with refreshments and resources available. There’s something for the whole family. Pizza provided by our awesome Dads!

Dads: check out Dadvocacy
Moms & kids: connect through the Parent Café

If you’re a father or father figure of a Jenkins Cavalier, this space is for you. No pressure. No judgment. Just real conversation and support.

👉 Tag a dad who should be there or invite a friend to join you.

Pull up a chair and be part of something good happening at Jenkins.

Go Cavs!
