Welcome Home, ESJPP! We’re so excited to see our faculty, staff, and students back in the classroom and hallways today. Let’s make 2026 our best year yet. Welcome back!

⭐️Our shining December students of the month!⭐️
To celebrate National Career Development Month this November, Mr. Rob organized a fantastic Touch-A-Truck event! 🚒🚓🚁 Kids had a blast exploring and interacting with fire trucks, police cars, helicopters, and more, learning about different careers in a fun, hands-on way.
A huge shoutout and thank you to all the amazing community partners who made this possible: LaFayette Fire & EMS, LaFayette Light & Power, LaFayette Animal Control, LaFayette Automotive Mechanic, Livesaver 3, Alabama Forestry Commission, Teagues Towing, and Chambers County Bus Shop.

We had a magical World Kindness Day at our school November 17, 2025! ✨ Our amazing 4th, 5th, and 6th graders, guided by Mr. Rob, our school counselor and ELA teachers Ms. Bakarich, Mrs. Weathers, and Ms. Browning, wrote beautiful poems about kindness. Students were also randomly assigned the special task of writing letters of kindness to one another and exchanged them during the event. Selected students performed their poetry in a candle-lit cafetorium, with soft music, snapping fingers, and hot chocolate for everyone. It was such a special way to celebrate kindness, creativity, and each other! 💛📖🍫 #WorldKindnessDay #KindnessCounts #PoetryInAction
