Jackson Academy hosted its annual Christmas with the Arts celebration, bringing together students from across the visual and performing arts programs for an evening of festive performances. The Performing Arts Center lobby showcased artwork from Lower School students, including elf creations from second and third graders. Ten of these student-designed elves were brought to life on stage by JA Theatre students in a special performance that connected younger artists with the Upper School performers.
Second graders arrived at school Monday morning and stepped into pure Christmas magic. Their hallway had been transformed into a scene straight from "The Polar Express," with decorations adorning every surface from floor to ceiling.
The bonds formed through Jackson Academy's Alpha and Omega buddy program don't end at graduation. This month, first graders put pencil to paper to reach out to someone who made their kindergarten year special—the seniors they were paired with last year, now navigating their first year of college.
