School recently received a Goody's Good Deeds Grant for $10,000.
Money from this grant will be used to purchase playground fitness
equipment in honor of first-grade teacher, Michele Cavaletto.
In addition, Jordan School also received a $5,000 grant from Lowe's
which will be used to landscape our school. Both grants were
written by teacher, Kristina List. Congratulations to Mrs.
