Mr.JacksonHistoryClass

Mr. Compton congratulations and best wishes on your new principalship assignment.

Approximately 3 years ago, I posted the picture on the left of me and this student as he was entering middle school. Unbeknownst to me, he had desired to not only be a part of the Simpson, but my classroom as well. Unfortunately due to Covid restrictions and safety protocols, he and I had to maintain a distance of 2-3 feet apart, wear masks, and a plexiglass divided us. Speed ahead to 2023 , none of those challenges exist. I can speak to my students without barriers and give them high fives to denote a job well done. These pictures have come to symbolize to me, that the worst of the pandemic is over.

The student in the picture is Jordan G. who is now a rising 9th grader and almost as tall as me. Congratulations Jordan and best wishes on your journey ahead!

Thank you Simpson Family!!No more volunteers are needed. Our parents this morning put the Colonial Signs up in record time.

Parents/Guardians,

I want to send a HUGE thank you for supporting your child with the Colonial Trade Sign homework project. The signs look awesome and I can tell that the students put a lot of effort into creating them. Now comes phase 2 of the project: Hanging the signs. The 6th grade history teachers will need 60-70 volunteers who can come and assist with the hanging of 370 colonial signs in House C. This event will take place on Wednesday, March 22 at 7:00 AM and last until all of the signs have been hung. We are willing to work with any time frame that you are able to volunteer for. We are asking volunteers who have an electric drill to please bring it with them. The drills are needed for drilling holes into the signs for hanging.

If you can support our efforts please contact me at [email protected] with the time frame in which you can assist. As always, thank you for your support.

Mr. Jackson
