Results for the JES Ma'Liyah White Hat Days: As you may know, one of our fourth-grade students, Ma’Liyah White, was involved in a terrible accident in January that resulted in a long hospital stay and time spent at a rehabilitation center where she is currently still becoming stronger.
The last day of each week in April we held a HAT DAY for students that donate $1. If students brought in a donation of $2-$5, they received a purple sticker
to wear as well in honor of Ma’Liyah’s favorite color.
JES raised $3,414 with the 5 HAT Days in April. JES staff would like to give a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who made this so amazing.
The 4th graders learned about Kente weaving and created their own out of paper. The 6th graders recently completed 2 point perspective street corners. Pictured are the awesome artists.
