Congratulations Mr. DJ & Ms. Kauffunger
Each year, the staff nominate a teacher and support employee to represent Jamestown as Teacher and Support Employee of the year. This year, we are honored to recognize Nancy Kauffunger, reading teacher, as our Teacher of the Year. Ms. Kauffunger is an instructional leader within our school who is a master at teaching children how to read and is detail oriented when looking at data to create appropriate supports for students. DJ Corprew, one of our office assistants, affectionately known as Mr. DJ, is our Support Employee of the Year. He is known for his calm, welcoming presence in the office, his ability to do just about anything we need done, and his positive can do attitude! Congratulations to Ms. Kauffunger and Mr. DJ!
October is Bullying Prevention Month, and the National Bullying Prevention Center recognizes October 21 as “Unity Day.” The call to action is simple—to wear and share the color orange—as a tangible representation of the supportive, universal message that our society wants to prevent bullying and is united for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. Since October 21 is picture day, Jamestown will celebrate Unity Day and wear orange on Friday, October 23.
Lifetouch will be at Jamestown on Tuesday, October 21, to take individual and class pictures. We look forward to capturing all our students' smiling faces. Online orders can be placed until midnight October 21.
