Dear Parents,
Thank you to all who sent in delicious desserts and sides
for our Teacher Appreciation Luncheon. A special thanks goes
out to the PTO volunteers who cooked, served and cleaned
up for our dinner. Our hardworking teachers and staff enjoyed
their special lunch.
Please take time to enjoy your family this Thanksgiving.
Be thankful for all of your blessings. This school is a blessing to all
who work and attend. I wish all the best for each and every
member of our school family. Sincerely,
Mrs. Ritz

Some of our Kindergarten and first grade mu-
sic classes have been working with Nanette
Ledet, an accomplished artist educator from
the JPAS Cultural Crossroads program. This or-
ganization is dedicated to arts education and
cultural enrichment. JPAS Cultural Crossroads
has been integrating the arts with academic
subjects for 16 years. This opportunity is a result
of a partnership between JPAS and the 25th Judicial Court, Dept. of
Youth and Family Services, and Families in Need of Services. Mrs. Nan-
ette will be integrating math objectives with instruction using percussion
instruments over the next few weeks during music enrichment.
Students who sold chocolate were treated to a
great show by Lone Star Action Sports. The riders
from Lone Star did tricks on bikes and roller blades.
Highlights were a bike jump over 4 students and a
roller blade flip over Mr. Weaver!
