Grateful to have Judge Lee Faulkner turn his courtroom into a classroom, inspiring our kids! Witnessing someone who embodies integrity, wisdom, and fairness firsthand is an invaluable lesson that can shape the lives of our kids from Hazel Park.

I ran into two of our @JEHSofficial students this past weekend. They make me proud of the work happening in our @JPschools classrooms, and I’m excited to see what the future has in store for them.

[James Gray @DrJamesGray]

Thank you @LouisianaGov, @RepKyleGreen and @Lyons4leader for putting our kids first and helping to support the great things happening in JP Schools! It was truly a pleasure to host you today at Lincoln.

[Jefferson Parish Schools @JPschools]

#JP Schools was honored and excited to welcome @LouisianaGov @RepKyleGreen @Lyons4leader & other elected officials to Lincoln School for the Arts to sign HB 282. This bill provides free breakfast and lunch to students across the state of Louisiana.

Thank you for coming out to recognize our @JPschools teachers and staff at Matas Elementary and meeting our kids. We are grateful to have community members like you who want to make a difference in our schools!

These first day of school moments are always a good reminder about why we do what we do!

[Jefferson Parish Schools @JPschools]

Jefferson Parish schools welcomed students in grades 1-8 and grade 12 back to school today. Faculty and staff were anxiously waiting to greet them as they arrived. The 2023-2024 school year is off to a great start!

Take a look at these photos from schools we visited today.

I was hoping my @GSU_TIGERS college playing days would give me an opportunity for some 1-on-1 today but I quickly changed my mind. 😂#gramfam @Grambling1901 @RickGallot @PelicansNBA

[James Gray @DrJamesGray]

Proud of our partnership with the Zion Williamson Foundation and the opportunity to be around great people who want to do great things for our kids. @PelicansNBA

[Jefferson Parish Schools @JPschools]

Zion Williamson and the Zion Williamson foundation, @DrJamesGray, board members and a representative from @RepTroyCarter held a press conference today to announce a new partnership for Summer Bridge and a $250k donation for uniforms. Thank you again for your contributions!

[James Gray @DrJamesGray]

Proud of our incredible team and the work we are doing to build and strengthen our leader pipeline!

[Jefferson Parish Schools @JPschools]

“Leadership is a passion, not a position.” @LauraRoussel13 and @JasonJbeber discuss ways #JPSchools is using an intentional, strategic, and cohesive approach to building our leadership pipeline at the @La_Believes Teacher Leader Summit.

[James Gray @DrJamesGray]

Congratulations to Smaran Tamidela from @PFTSTA for being recognized as a finalist for the @La_Believes Middle School Student of the Year. He represented @JPschools well tonight! We are so proud of all our Students of the Year for their hard work and commitment to excellence.

[James Gray @DrJamesGray]

@calvinmackie @JPschools Thank you for being there and sharing your wisdom with our students. Congratulations to Mason and your family!

@DawnBusters @JPschools @Kiwanis Thank you for having me!

[James Gray @DrJamesGray]

As we celebrate Dr. King today, I am grateful for our community and leaders who help make our vision of giving every child a great education a reality. His dream helped lead me to where I am today, and I am proud to serve our students and honor his legacy.

[Jefferson Parish Schools @JPschools]

As we celebrate the legacy of Dr Martin Luther King, Jr., we are reminded how one person’s dream backed with collective works from the community can move mountains. Today, @DrJamesGray along with JP staff, students and elected officials were at this year’s MLK Day Parade.

[James Gray @DrJamesGray]

Today was a great day! Superintendent Councils, ribbon cutting and Rewards for Reading at C.T. Janet, @bonnabelhs band at Heritage Park, and theatrical performance at Haynes. Our kids represent what is right in the world! I’m proud of our students. @DawnBusters @JPschools

[James Gray @DrJamesGray]

An opportunity to be a part of the conversation with some of the pressing issues facing our community.

[James Gray @DrJamesGray]

Large district superintendent collaboration site visit in @ebrpschools today. Great things are happening with their SEL support for students! The icing on the cake was being interviewed by a former @GraceKingHighS1 graduate. Anum Siddiqui represented @JPschools well!

[James Gray @DrJamesGray]

The start of a new journey for a few of the brightest future leaders of Jefferson Parish. The Jefferson Youth Leadership program kicked of today led by @RonnieSlone1 and put on by the @JCFPhilanthropy. Building a better future for our parish. @JPschools @PetheAJ

[James Gray @DrJamesGray]

So proud of our student leaders for representing @JPschools at our @NABSE_org Youth Male & Female Leadership Summit this summer. Glad the community could come together to sponsor this for our kids. @RickyJo123123

[James Gray @DrJamesGray]

Strong leaders are key to the success of our students and schools. I am excited to see our #JPSchools leaders continue to grow and learn alongside one another this year.

[Jefferson Parish Schools @JPschools]

Take a peek at our new program to support current educators as they advance in their career, the Aspiring Leaders Academy. These 22 educators will spend the next six months training to become school leaders in Louisiana’s largest school system.

[James Gray @DrJamesGray]

We started school this week but added a very special group of children today as our PK and kindergarten students arrived for their first days of school. Tomorrow we are thrilled to welcome back all of our #JPSchools students.

[Jefferson Parish Schools @JPschools]

This morning was full of smiles and hugs as pre-k and kindergarten students arrived on campus. Superintendent @DrJamesGray, board President Clay Moise, Vice-President Dr. LeBlanc, and Chief of Schools @PetheAJ welcomed our purple shirts to their first day of school. #JPSchools
