This is wonderful! Well done ETSU for giving priority and support to this community of students.

We had a WEDDING today!! Two of our staff are getting married this week, so Ms. Shaunah thought it was the perfect opportunity to teach everyone about wedding etiquette. This was not a classroom exercise though, we held a WHOLE SCHOOL mock wedding ceremony in the park, followed by a reception in the gym!

Our students dressed for the occasion, and we had bridesmaids, flower girls, groomsmen and guests. Every aspect of a wedding took place - walking down the aisle, the vows, rings, a speech, a toast, food, cutting the cake, dancing, confetti (bird seed) throwing, and the send off - WOW!! Everyone had a fabulous time, learned a lot, and gave Ms. Gaby and Mr, Gabe a day they will never forget. 👰🤵💍

This is how you bring learning to life! This is how we teach at Jeremiah School ❤️

Today Ms. Ivy’s Astrochemistry class visited the chemistry lab at ETSU. They got to try plenty of hands on experiments under the direction of a college chemistry professor. It was a wonderful morning, during which they learned new skills and gained practical lab experience. Many thanks to ETSU!

Books, books, and more books! 📚 📕 What a wonderful gift our students had today. Thanks to a generous grant from Jonesborough Kiwanis Club, the Appalachian Literacy Initiative came to school and let every student choose 2 free books! And it gets even better because they will do it again twice in the spring - totaling 6 free books for each student!!🤩
They also donated about 40 books for our school library. What a blessing this organization is - thank you for helping to spread a love of reading ❤️

Wow! 🤩 What an incredible day for Jeremiah School. This morning on live TV we were presented with a MASSIVE check for $170,000 from this year’s Dancing with the TriCities Stars event!
It is hard to express our gratitude and appreciation for such an amazing gift, and for all the months and months of dedication that so many people put in to make the event possible. This money funds so many school programs, and most importantly, keeps tuition costs down. We are so incredibly blessed 🙏❤️

We have a great new partnership with the community center. Each week, we take Ms. Melton and Ms. Kassie’s classes to participate in swimming, and a mix of Taekwondo and Tai Chi. Both activities have multiple health benefits, and are life saving. The biggest cause of death in young autistic children is drowning, so it’s vitally important that they learn how to swim. It’s another example of how we prepare our students for life beyond school.

Ms. Correna’s Discovery Lab classes have been learning about Brazil. Today they cooked Brazilian Pastel. It was a big hit with the students - Sam announced it was the best thing he had ever cooked and the best thing he had ever eaten! High praise indeed 😊 Great work Ms. Correna in bringing other cultures to life.
