Volunteers Needed! K & 8th Grade Celebrations

The final countdown is on to the end of the school year! Our kindergarten and 8th-grade students, in particular, have some exciting things coming up. All grades, take a peek at what you have to look forward to and help with the ceremony setups so that those families can fully enjoy the day and their student's accomplishments!

Principal Message - May 13th

As we continue toward the conclusion of another school year, I would like to take a moment to keep you updated on all of our year-end events. Your participation and support are truly appreciated as we celebrate this wonderful school year.

Family Fine Arts and Wellness (FAW) Festival

Families and friends, please join us on Saturday, May 18th from 10AM-12PM on the Jahn playlot for this community event presented by the fine arts team. We'll celebrate our Jahn students and the arts with musical performances, make-and-take art activities, and physical fitness fun. See the schedule. All are welcome!

Partnership Update: Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble

We have loved having the Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble at Jahn this year providing dance enrichment to our preschoolers. Students will spend these last few weeks learning dance skills like the tango and twist in connection with Giles Andreae's Giraffes Can't Dance as part of their Books Alive! program.

I am honored to lead this work alongside you, and I am confident we will accomplish amazing feats together. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you might have around things happening at Jahn. Here’s to the start of our powerful partnership.

Empowering Creative Thinkers

 
Our students are the center and soul of our school. At Jahn, we strive to empower them to be lifelong learners and use the arts as communication, creative personal realization, connectors of culture and history, a means to wellbeing, and community engagement.
