Letter to the Editor: J-H Appreciates Community Support

— Jefferson-Houston is a school community with great pride and promise. Amid the difficult moments we have faced over the past year, we have felt great support from so many community members who have reached out to us with their time and expertise. They have poured their hearts and minds into teaching and mentoring our children, and for that, the Jefferson-Houston community is truly grateful.

As we finish this school year, the Jefferson-Houston Leadership and PTA would like to take a moment to recognize the many members of the community who have given their time to our students this year.
