The Jackson Education Association wishes a very healthy and happy retirement to Renee Pagano-Hein and Claudia Johnson from the H.C. Johnson Elementary School. On the last day of the 2025-26 school year, the Johnson Elementary students and staff celebrated them with a traditional “clap out” in recognition of their final day. What a perfect start to their next chapter after giving so many years of dedicated service to our school district!

Happening over at Switlik School - Principal Saulnier called on our entire building to celebrate the Switlik "Clean Team!" Whenever something is needed - our custodians are always ready and willing to help. Today we thank them with cheers, high fives, cards, bulletin board displays, and a ton of treats just to show our appreciation for all that they do. It was such an amazing moment for all!

Some news to start your day ~ 1st Graders at H.C. Johnson Elementary School learned about the life cycle of birds by hatching chicks in their classrooms. The students observed the eggs throughout their 21 day incubation. Everyone was very excited when we came in one May morning to find that 12 of our 21 eggs had hatched. Students had opportunities to bond with the chicks as they learned about the features of birds and discussed the stages of a chicken's life cycle. It was a fun experience for our entire school!

Back in the spring, the Elms JTAG Third Grade Enrichment class celebrated their success by inviting their families to their Food Truck Grand Opening. Led by Sheryl Konopack, each student researched food trucks, surveyed friends and family regarding their interests, and developed a business plan. With marketing, advertising, and good ‘ol creativity, each child brought their idea to life. It was a tasty time!

On March 24th, Mrs. Steider-Jones's class over at Holman Elementary school had their Ellis Island "Cultural Heritage Day." Students made family trees to show what countries that they are all from and then groups worked to teach each other about what it was like coming through Ellis Island. The class ended their celebration sampling a variety of food items from each of their families backgrounds. What an enjoyable and creative way to learn about one another!
