Hello, Eagle Families! What an incredible week we’ve had soaring together at South Jackson! Our High-Flying Eagles have truly made us proud with their outstanding accomplishments:

🤖 LEGO League Team – Way to go on making it to regionals! Your creativity and teamwork continue to inspire us.
💻 Technology Competition Participants – Your innovation and tech-savvy skills have wowed us all!
We are so proud of each student who represented our school with Eagle pride in these competitions. Your hard work and dedication exemplify what it means to SOAR!
This week, our students also tackled MAP testing and Write Score assessments with focus and determination. We know assessments require a lot of effort, and we are so proud of how our Eagles gave it their all. These results will help us continue to support each student on their learning adventure.
Excitement is in the air as the Jingle Jangle Store is now open! There are so many wonderful options for students to choose from, making it a perfect way to get into the holiday spirit while finding treasures for family and friends.
As we count down to the holidays, we’re embracing the joy and spirit of the season while cherishing the time we have together. The school may grow quieter for a little while soon, but our hearts will be full with memories of this incredible semester.
Thank you, families, for your continued support and encouragement. Together, we make South Jackson a place where learning truly is an adventure!
