✨ 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.

A fun wrap-up to the Critical Problems and Design Solutions unit in Ms. Cross’ class! After reading The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, students created STEM podcasts about global problems and the innovators who solved them.
To connect to the story, students built pinwheels inspired by William Kamkwamba’s windmill that helped save his village in Malawi from drought. Innovation in action!
