✨ 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.

There is no basketball practice tomorrow after school. All students on the basketball team will go home their regular way.

For Read Across America Week, tomorrow is "Cuddle up with a good book!" Dress in your pajamas for school tomorrow!
