News______________________________________________ Overflow Book Drive Jackson Public Schools has recently kicked off their Pages of Promise Book Drive and are trying to collect 5,000 books by the end of April. The donated books will go to students, classrooms, and libraries so that they have available resources to help them succeed. Please donate only new or gently worn books that range from elementary to high school reading levels. Drop-off boxes are located in the FC foyer, in the Auditorium foyer, and near the classrooms in the Education Building. Contact Bonita Ellwein or Jason Eifling for more information.
