JES celebrated our students for Rare Disease Awareness Day this week. Students and staff wore zebra or black and white stripes, watched an informational video about rare diseases, and completed an activity in class. Our JES eagle Cameron also handed out zebra ribbons and stick-on zebra tattoos to staff to help spread kindness and awareness! Thank you to our JES family for creating such an inclusive environment for all!!
