Pancakes, PJ?s and the Wild, Wild West at JFD

On Thursday, October 5, JFD hosted their annual AR Pancake Supper & Literacy Night. Our theme this year was celebrating all the diverse cultures at JFD. Each grade planned their reading selections based around this theme. {{more: continue …}}

Delaney hosted some awesome guest readers who lent their voice and personal touches to the reading of the stories. We had school board members Julie Webb, Joe Taylor, John Clark, and Jack Dalrymple come out to read books. Mr. Clark then lent his time to help out in the book fair. Dr. Missy Glenn, KISD Deputy Superintendent, volunteered her time to read in the 4th grade hallway.

The ACE program had a reading area setup where Willie the Wildcat visited, as some of our local police officers and fire fighters joined JFD students for the read aloud. A bilingual area was set up so that students who wanted to listen to Spanish stories could go listen as Ms. Cruz read.

JFD teachers and staff as well as PTO volunteers helped man the cafeteria during the pancake supper. The aroma that drifted out into the hallways was of pancakes, sausage, and syrup. Yummy for everyone?s tummy!

The Wild, Wild West Book Fair was also open on this night and received lots of visitors. Mrs. Krafve, our librarian, did a phenomenal job at setting up a very engaging and exciting book fair. Many contests were going on in the book fair that kept the atmosphere lively!

A huge thank you to everyone for attending and supporting the annual event! Another huge thank you to our hard working JFD staff for helping plan and coordinate this BIG event!!

Lastly, a sincere thank you to our wonderful PTO for helping coordinate our volunteers!! This event is special and would not happen if it wasn?t for the help of many.
