After a morning of hard work and deep focus for state testing, there’s no better way to decompress than sunshine and some good old-fashioned playground time. Even our teachers couldn’t resist getting in on the fun today!

We are so proud of how hard our students are working, and we love seeing these moments where everyone can just be a kid for a while.

We have a heartwarming story to share just in time for the holidays!

Last Friday, members of our Washington Middle School boys’ basketball team visited Jefferson Elementary School to read Christmas books to our first-grade students. Afterward, Coach Chaney treated the team to breakfast at McDonald’s.

While there, the team noticed a gentleman who needed a little assistance getting from the parking lot into the restaurant. Without hesitation, one player stepped outside to offer his arm for support, while others held the door open to make sure he got inside safely.

As it turns out, the gentleman is a veteran who proudly served our country and previously worked for Johnston City Schools. Can you guess who it was?

It was Mr. Jim, the beloved custodian from Lincoln Elementary School! Coincidentally—or maybe fate—he had been featured as our Throwback Thursday just the day before.

Moments like these remind us that kindness, respect, and service are lessons that last a lifetime. We are so proud of our students for representing our schools and community so well this holiday season. ❤️🖤🎄

If you're interested in your 1st through 6th grader attending the JCHS Educators Rising Winter Enrichment Camp, please register so we can better prepare for the event.

During this one-day program, participants will enjoy holiday-themed STEM activities and crafts!

It's taking place on Saturday, December 20th, at Jefferson Elementary School from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. This gives parents the perfect opportunity to finish last-minute shopping, get the house ready for guests, or relax before entertaining!

Walk-ins are welcome, but the club encourages families to sign up in advance. This will help ensure we purchase enough supplies for the camp.
