This morning, the Alabama Department of Education approved a resolution recognizing Dr. Walter B. Gonsoulin, Jr. as the 2025 Alabama Superintendent of the Year!! Dr. Gonsoulin serves State School Board Districts Three, Four, and Seven with heart, vision, and determination. We couldn't be prouder of his leadership.
Congratulations, Dr. Gonsoulin! You've made us all #JEFCOEDProud!
Help us bring in the holidays next week! Show your holiday spirit as we say good bye to 2024 and the first semester (can you believe it?). Let's spread that holiday cheer!
It's the first Tuesday of the month, so we are celebrating SWARM Day! Check out our fabulous students who respected time in November. Respecting time means meeting deadlines, doing things quickly and efficiently, and not wasting instructional time. Way to go Yellowjackets!
Hello everyone,
This show also serves as a fundraiser for the Art Program. All art will be framed and available for purchase in the frame. Even if you do not plan to purchase your student's art, please come out and see the show!
Are you unable to attend? We have a Virtual Art Show as well! Here is the link:

Attention Parents!
I am excited to invite you to support our school's Online Art Show Fundraiser which promises to be an incredible showcase of your child's talent while aiding our school's needs.
Now, more than ever, our school needs your support. While our primary goal is to celebrate the artistic accomplishments of your children, the Online Art Show Fundraiser will also raise funds to enhance the educational experience at our school. Your contribution will directly benefit your child by providing additional resources, supplies, and opportunities to further their artistic development.
