JTR’s Undercover Dress Days keep getting better! 🎉
Day 4: Wig Day — and our teachers truly understood the assignment! 💇‍♀️✨

From neon curls to old-school perms, rainbow waves to styles we’re not even sure have official names, today was an absolute hair-raising hit! 🤣🌈 Our halls were filled with double-takes, big laughs, and some seriously impressive wig-swag.

Students are still trying to guess what tomorrow’s undercover fun will bring… but one thing’s for sure — we’re having a blast right along with them! 😄✨

Stay tuned…Our last day is tomorrow! 📣🎭

Our Sunshine Committee brightened everyone’s day by surprising our faculty and staff with a delicious apple bar—complete with all the best toppings. A little treat to spread a lot of cheer! 💙🍎🍏

Today, young 2nd-grade scientists in Mrs. Onyeri's GATE resource class brought Force and Motion to life! Through hands-on activities, they explored and demonstrated Newton’s Laws of Motion, showing creativity, curiosity, and incredible problem-solving skills. From testing pushes and pulls to observing how objects move, our young scientists were fully engaged and having fun while learning!
