These are our "Tell Me Something Good" students this week! Here is what their teachers had to say:

Mrs. Tompkins: "Emma is a wonderful student who leads by setting a good example. She is always one of the first to be sitting in her spot with eyes on me. Thank you for making my day better, Emma!"

Ms. Amaya: "When the cafeteria looked a little messier than usual after lunch, True Smith stayed behind and helped pick up trash on the floor without being asked. Way to go true! Thank you for always being willing to help."

Mrs. Curtis: "Caleb is always willing to help me and his classmates. He even does helpful things without being asked! I'm so glad he's in my class!"

Way to go Emma, True, and Caleb! You're amazing! #ESED #JPW

We are so proud of our first-quarter 3rd Grade Ambassadors! These students have been selected to serve as leaders and positive representatives of Jerry “Pop” Williams Elementary.

Our ambassadors will have opportunities to serve, welcome others, demonstrate kindness, and represent our school. They are learning that being a leader isn’t just about having a title. It’s about setting a great example, helping others, and making our school a better place.

We can’t wait to see the impact these young leaders will make! ⭐️

Setting the standard starts with us! 🌟

Our JPW teachers kicked off the year by creating and signing our staff social contract. We believe that building a strong culture of respect, collaboration, and leadership among our teams directly impacts the way our students grow. By committing to support and uplift one another every single day, we’re creating a positive environment where both our staff and our students can thrive.

Here’s to a fantastic year of leading by example and growing together! 💙🍎 #ESED #CKH #Williams
