❄️⛄ Do You Want to Build a Snowman… in PE?! ⛄❄️

Our students had an absolute BLAST today during our “Do You Want to Build a Snowman” relay! Teams worked together to build the coolest snowmen around.

This relay wasn’t just fun; it strengthened teamwork, communication, coordination, and perseverance. Watching students cheer each other on and celebrate their creations was the true highlight!

PE is such a magical place this time of year, and our kids are showing us just how much joy and energy they bring to every challenge. Way to go, Cardinals! ❤️❄️

What an unforgettable day at JLAS! 🌮📚

Mrs. Clark’s Business Management students received the surprise of a lifetime today when Chris Turner, CEO of Yum! Brands, and Sean Tresvant, CEO of Taco Bell, joined their class for a live Zoom meeting—just to celebrate one of our students!

Earlier this fall, Cooper Briley wrote a class-assignment letter to Yum! Brands sharing how much he loves Taco Bell. That letter made its way to the top—and today, two Fortune 500 CEOs met with our students to talk leadership, answer questions, and congratulate Cooper for making such a positive impact.

To make the moment even more special, Taco Bell treated the entire class to lunch and surprised students with fun Taco Bell swag. 🎉🌮

We are incredibly grateful for the kindness, humility, and generosity shown by both CEOs and the Yum! Brands/Taco Bell teams. Moments like this remind us how powerful student voice can be—and how far it can reach.

Thank you, Yum! Brands and Taco Bell, for making today truly memorable for our Cardinals! ❤️
