📢 Help Jordan’s EarlyAct Club Make a Difference!
We have two exciting recycling projects and need your help to reach our goals!
Pop Tabs for Ronald McDonald House: We’re collecting aluminum tabs to provide housing and resources for families with sick children. Drop them off at the Main Office.
2 Million Can Challenge: We’ve joined a national contest to recycle aluminum cans! This earns money for our school while helping the planet.
How you can help: Please send empty, rinsed cans to school—and don't forget to pull the tabs for RMH before you do!

The 5th grade spent the first week of the new year focusing on goal setting, resetting expectations, and strengthening social-emotional skills. Students have been reflecting on personal and academic goals while re-establishing classroom routines and expectations to set themselves up for success in 2026.
We have also begun implementing our new Kagan training strategies alongside our SEL curriculum, which emphasize collaboration and relationship-building. Through buddy activities, pair-shares, and structured discussions, students are learning how to communicate effectively, support one another, and build stronger connections within our classroom community.
We are proud of the positive start to the year and look forward to continued growth both academically and socially, as we move forward together. 💙💛

During this morning's Early Act Club meeting, Dr. Phillis and Mr. Swanson from the Rotary Club shared an engaging presentation about LifeStraw, a water-filtration system that provides safe drinking water to thousands of children attending schools throughout Kenya. They even brought in a working filter, giving students the opportunity to see firsthand how dirty water can be cleaned and made safe to drink using this device.
