New Tables and Chairs Continued...





Students across the district were very excited today with the delivery of new tables and chairs. Not only that, but they also had their rooms painted over winter break and as one student told me, "It feels like a brand new school!"

We are very thankful to our team who helped get this project off the ground! If you are in the neighborhood, stop by and check it out!

Dia De Los Muertos

This week at Victoria the students set up an altar to celebrate the Day of the Dead!


Looking Good!

Cuyamaca was the first school to receive the new furniture we have ordered for some of our Community School sites! The goal with our new furniture is to be able to create student centered cooperative spaces. These desks can be moved and placed in different configurations. 

If you get a chance, ask Ellen how it is going or stop by Southland to check out what they have! 

Very exciting times for teaching and learning at JCCS!
