October 7th-12th  ~ Week of Respect

In the effort to promote tolerance, togetherness and respect, Jackson Liberty will be promoting a theme for each of the five days.  Additionally, there will be various class discussions, activities, and challenges based on positivity, kindness, appreciation, tolerance, and self-worth.  We hope that as the week unfolds, we all make efforts to be more respectful and tolerant towards others with our actions and with our words.
