John Jacobs Elementary

Woohoo Ms. Myers!! 👏💙❤️

🍎❤️💚 Throwback to Johnny Appleseed Day! 💚❤️🍎

We wrapped up last week’s Spirit Week with Johnny Appleseed Day! Our Jags showed their spirit by wearing their best red and green! 🍏🐆

Kindergarten learns about Johnny Appleseed each year while exploring the stories and history surrounding the legendary figure known for planting apple trees across parts of the United States. 🌳🍎

And the learning doesn’t stop there! Kindergarten also brings apples into science as students examine and label the different parts of an apple 🍎🔎 and learn about the apple life cycle—from seed to tree and eventually to a new apple! 🌱🌳🍏

We love seeing our youngest Jags connect literacy, science, and hands-on learning! ❤️💙

Thank you, Jags, for making another Spirit Week so much fun! We loved seeing your creativity, school spirit, and smiles all week long. 🐆✨

Until next time for Spirit Days! ❤️💙

❤️💙

🐆❤️💙 September Jags of the Month! 💙❤️🐆

We’re kicking off the school year by celebrating these incredible Jags! 🎉✨

Even this early in the year, these students are already showing us what it means to BE A JAG:
❤️ Just Be Responsible
💙 Act Respectfully
❤️ Get Safe

We are so proud of the way these students are leading by example and showing their Jag pride every day! 🌟🐆

Congratulations, September Jags of the Month! Keep shining! ❤️💙

🕺❤️💙 Throwback to Decades Day! 💙❤️🕺

Last Thursday, our Jags took a trip through time and threw it back to their favorite decades! ⏰🎶 From retro looks to iconic styles, our students and staff brought their creativity to a whole new level!

And the best part? Some of our Jags were dressed for decades they weren’t even alive for! 😂📻💿

The creativity throughout our first Spirit Week of the 2026–2027 school year was truly unmatched! From Music Monday to Twin Tuesday, Wacky Wednesday, and Decades Day, our Jags showed us just how much school spirit they have. 🐆✨

Thank you, Jags, for making it such a fun week! ❤️💙

📚❤️💙 Stories, Smiles & Library Time! 💙❤️📚

Library time is always a favorite at John Jacobs! 🐆✨ Mrs. Abbas’ first graders enjoyed a special read-aloud with Mrs. Driver, getting lost in a story while building their love for books and reading. 📖💙

Being read to is about so much more than enjoying a good story! Research from the American Academy of Pediatrics shows that shared reading helps build vocabulary, language and literacy skills, comprehension, attention, and social-emotional development. It also helps children develop positive connections with books and reading.

That’s why access to a library matters. Having a welcoming place filled with books gives students opportunities to explore new ideas, discover interests, find characters they connect with, and develop the joy of becoming lifelong readers. 📚✨

A big thank you to Mrs. Driver for making our library a place where our Jags can read, wonder, discover, and grow! ❤️💙🐆
