JCPS families came together last week for an evening filled with food, games, and hands-on self-care resources designed to help everyone discover simple, meaningful ways to create inner peace. From laughter and connection to practical tools to take home, this event was all about caring for ourselves and each other.
Because when families feel supported, our whole community grows stronger.






This FREE event connects JCPS families with a wide variety of summer camps and programs from across Jefferson County. Families can meet providers, ask questions, and enter drawings for summer camp scholarships.
All JCPS families are welcome!
