❤️ FROM THE HEART 📝 | We invited seniors to write a letter to their favorite teacher. For #TeacherAppreciationWeek, we're sharing a few of the heartfelt responses.
"There were days when I needed more than just a teacher, and somehow, you always knew."

✨ PEACE IN THE CHAOS | Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential.
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.
