The first fifth grade overnight trip on the Mississippi River was an exciting, character-shaping adventure for 21 fifth graders and seven chaperones. Perfect weather contributed to a wonderul outing that helped students escape their comfort zones and build confidence in unfamiliar surroundings. Participants canoed, swam, explored sandbars and gravelbars, took nature hikes, and camped out on a sandbar on Buck Island. The fifth graders created some great memories. It was Quapaw Canoe Company’s first overnight trip with students from a Mississippi school.

Lunch to Lead is a new opportunity at Jackson Academy for Upper School students. Community members share information about their occupation, community service, and other topics. Dr. Mike McMullan was the first speaker and addressed interested students during an extended lunch break. He discussed his career as an interventional cardiologist and offered tips for becoming a successful leader.
Dr. Alan Jones, UMMC professor and chairman of the Department of Emergency Medicine, spoke to coaches at JA on last Tuesday about the latest information available on hydration.
