Thank Yous
A big thank you to Mrs. Whitehall, Mrs. Ellington, Ms. Conway and Mrs. Johnston who invited the iJAG students into their classrooms to read with their elementary students during the last part of November. Another big thank you to the elementary teachers and staff for allowing the iJAG students to come over and assist kids shopping in the Penguin Patch.
JobCorp Campus Tour
On December 3, the iJAG seniors had the opportunity to tour the JobCorp Campus in Ottumwa. They were given the opportunity to speak with some current students, tour the different trade program classrooms and speak with the instructors.
