Thank you to our 5th Grade Peer Leader Volunteers who kicked off The Great Kindness Challenge for us at Washington School! Maya, Alex, Liia, and Angeliki led a whole school assembly sharing the importance of kindness! #WeAllShine@Washington
We had the incredible honor of awarding certificates to some very exceptional students, our very own JFG Kids! These students embody the core values we hold dear at our school, kindness, integrity, perseverance, and responsibility. Being a JFG Kid means more than just academic success; it’s about showing up every day with a heart full of respect, compassion, and determination. We couldn’t be prouder of these young leaders for setting an example for others and demonstrating what it truly means to be a part of the JFG family. Keep shining, keep growing, and always remember...YOU are the future! Click the link below for our presentation!
