What a wonderful way to wrap up an incredible year of reading! 📚☕ The JCHS Book Club, led by JCHS librarian Mrs. Leslie, held its final meeting of the year at Germania Brew Haus after spending the school year meeting weekly to share their love of books and reading together.
This amazing group of students and staff read and discussed six different books, completed two creative book bedazzling projects, made pressed flower bookmarks, participated in the Somewhat Virtual Book Club and Zoomed with other high school book clubs, attended the JCMS author visit, and voted for their favorite title for the 2026 Illinois Teen Readers’ Choice Award.
More than anything, these students are building the meaningful lifelong habit of reading for pleasure, learning from one another through thoughtful discussions, and creating lasting friendships along the way. Thank you to everyone who made this year’s book club such a success! 💙

Let’s hear it for the incredible team behind Jersey 100’s Prevention Initiative Baby Talk Birth-to-Three Program!
While our high schoolers are prepping for graduation, this squad is on the front lines of where it all begins. From those first babbles to those shaky first steps, our Birth-to-Three staff provides the ultimate "manual" for our district's youngest learners and their families.
A huge THANK YOU to this team for planting the seeds of success long before the first school bell ever rings. You make the "Birth-to-Three" journey a little less overwhelming and a lot more fun!

Ms. Lackey’s Pre-K class at Grafton Elementary has been busy learning all about butterflies! 🦋 From observing their transformation to watching them grow, students experienced the full life cycle up close.
The excitement soared as they released their butterflies into the world, sending them off on their next adventure. What a beautiful way to celebrate learning, growth, and new beginnings!
