Our Washington Middle School Student Council kept to their promise of a sweet treat for the home base that donated the most cans to the district-wide food and toy drive.

And.. the winner is... Mrs. Kerley's home base, who enjoyed Christmas-themed donuts! It's a pretty sweet way to end their 1st semester.

Abbie and Cara Cullum, both former Johnston City High School students, visited Mrs. Williford’s 7th- and 8th-grade PACE classes today to share information about the Disney College Program.

The program allows college students to live, learn, and work at Walt Disney World while gaining real-world job experience. There are a variety of roles available from attractions and entertainment to hospitality and food service. Plus, opportunities to build professional skills, network with Disney leaders, and attend educational seminars and career development workshops.

Abbie and Cara shared personal experiences from their time in the program, offering insight into how it helped them grow in independence, responsibility, and confidence.

📸✨ Throwback Thursday! ✨📸

It’s our last Throwback Thursday of 2025! This week, we’re shining a spotlight on some of our littlest learners at Jefferson Elementary.

These candid classroom moments come straight from the 2013–2014 yearbook, capturing the everyday learning that made that year so special. And if you look closely at one photo, you might spot a friendly neighborhood superhero popping up in three different places, proof that Spider-Man was clearly keeping an eye on the classroom that day!
