💙💛 WELCOME BACK, TJ STAFF! 💛💙

JPG was so happy to welcome our amazing TJ staff back today! 🐾✨

We wanted to start the school year by making sure our staff felt welcomed, appreciated, and well-fed! ☕️🥯🍩

We put together a light breakfast to help fuel their first day back and then gave the staff lounge a serious restock of snacks, drinks, and goodies to keep them going through the school year! 🙌🏼

It’s just a small way for us to say THANK YOU for everything you do for our students every single day. ❤️

Here’s to a BRIGHT school year ahead! ✨📚

The Jaguar Parent Group is incredibly proud of our TJ 5th Grade Student Leaders and all they accomplished through their Type 1 Diabetes fundraiser. Thanks to the incredible support of our TJ families and community, the students exceeded their fundraising goal, raising $1,135 through their marathon, teacher tattoo sales, and Student Maker Market!

Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, participated, and encouraged our students throughout these events. Every contribution helped make this achievement possible and showed our 5th graders the power of community, compassion, and giving back.

While JPG was honored to help facilitate these opportunities, this accomplishment belongs to our students. We couldn't be prouder of the difference they made together!
