IMS JAG program & Evergy came together this morning to teach students about the seriousness of safety regarding utility equipment. They taught us about several different occupations within their company, skills needed and education required. The kids enjoyed the powertown presentation, conducted their own electricity and got to explore the bucket trucks. We loved every minute of it.
⚡️THANK YOU EVERGY for supporting JAG-K!

JAG has been talking about food, glorious food! What is a balanced diet? How do you budget for groceries and meal plan? Today students assembled into teams and built food pyramids, blindfolded! Guided only by direction of the team members that could see. Each food in the correct category earned a point for their team. It sparked a lot of fun conversation too. Afterwards they made recipe cards of their favorite healthy snacks.
Thank you to our Math Teachers!
Thank you to our Science Teachers!
