To kick off the new school year on a high note, Jepson School staged an assembly celebrating students who had achieved perfect attendance during the first week of school. The event brought the entire student body and staff together to emphasize the importance of showing up every day ready to learn.
Students with perfect attendance were entered into a raffle, with numerous prizes handed out throughout the assembly to reward their dedication and consistency right out of the gate.
Teachers took to the stage to compete against each other in a series of "Minute to Win It" challenges. The crowd cheered as staff members went head-to-head in a Pencil Grab; Rock, Paper, Scissors, a Free-Throw Contest, Cup Stacking, and the Mummy Wrap.
It was a great way to build community
