So proud to work at an awesome National Blue Ribbon school that turned the bulk of the work for design, mathematical thinking, and execution of this all-school Blue Ribbon picture to our students. It is amazing what they can do!

I encourage every educator to spend this week recharging your battery, enjoying your family, and taking care of self! You can't care for others if you don't take care of self! You are the cornerstone of this society and you deserve a break!

Huge thanks to former Dragon @marcus_miller08 for sharing his journey with @prjctsnm to end the stigma of mental health. @JCSD_SMS @BarlowAllison & @cmites ELP Humanities students also shared their projects and enjoyed the bracelets. #authenticlearning #projectsilencenomore

They are on their way home, and they’re bringing this beauty with them! ⁦@JCSD_SMS⁩ can’t wait to hear all about your DC adventures, Mr. Blackburn & Mrs. Tack!
