East Elementary 2nd Graders drew monsters as an assignment. To their surprise, the JCHS Design & Adobe classes used their skills to create monster inspired keepsake treasures for these kids including: socks, book bag tags, and hand-sewn plushies.

JCHS Advanced Art students in Ms. Mitchell's class were prompted to create "Out of character monsters." Each student selected their own ghoul and designed a scene with the monster in an atypical role. Painted on metal trays, they are displayed in a gothic Victorian gallery. Check out this funny group of misfits! “Monsters are People Too”

It was a Marvelous Monday at Jersey 100 today!
Today, our Jersey 100 family came together for a Marvelous Monday in honor of Mary Siemer. We wore our special shirts to celebrate her life, her warmth, and the joy she brought to everyone around her.
In Mary’s spirit, we focused on celebrating our students and making sure everyone felt welcomed and valued. Her legacy of enthusiasm reminds us to lift one another up and create a school community where every student knows they belong.

A celebration so great we had to post twice! On Friday, October 24, West Elementary celebrated being named a 2025 Super Stretch Growth School for exceptional performance on the iReady Diagnostic assessments! We had a day filled with treats, awards, and special guest visitors. It was a great day to thank our staff and students for all of their hard work!
