Ready to show heart? 💓 This week all students are joining the Kid Heart Challenge — a week of learning, movement, and heart-healthy fun. Swipe to see what’s on the calendar in the #WheelerRundown and how you can get involved! 👟❤️✨
✨ 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.
