April Iowa Assessments for 3rd-5th graders Tuesday, April 4 at 6:00pm - PTA Meeting in Library Tuesday, April 11 at 6:30pm - Kindergarten and 1st grade concert. Please have students at Taft by 6:10. Thursday, April 13 - Square One Art Orders Due Friday, April 14 - Inservice Day - No School April Book Fair Saturday, April 22 - Breakfast with a Buddy & Enrichments Friday, May 5 - Jackson Kernels Night Friday, May 19 - Jackson Spring Carnival The Spring Carnival is just around the corner and needs help: Jackson PTA has an urgent need for the spring carnival event. We need parents to contact businesses for donations for the raffle baskets. Or individuals can donate money and PTA will purchase gift cards for the baskets. Due to personal reasons, the carnival committee has less volunteer help for the preparation to get business donations. This can be any family fun business or recreational idea that is added to the raffle baskets for each classroom grade. If we don't have business donations, this event will not be like it has been in previous years. You can send money (cash or checks payable to Jackson PTA) to the office with the attention of Kim Prevo, or questions to kprevo@gmail.com. Thank you! Monday, May 29 - Memorial Day - No School Tuesday, May 30 - Kids Against Hunger Packing Day
