🎶☕ Celebrating Dolly Parton’s 9/25 Day! 📚💗

Today, we celebrated around Jenkins Elementary with a little Dolly Parton inspiration! Our staff enjoyed a “Cup of Ambition” as we took time to celebrate Dolly’s incredible spirit, love of learning, and the lessons she has shared with generations.

We also had the opportunity to read Dolly’s beloved book, Coat of Many Colors, and discovered three important life lessons:

🌟 1. Find your talent and use it to make life better for yourself and others.
We all have gifts and talents. When we discover them and use them to help others, we can make a difference in the world around us.

💗 2. People can sometimes be mean, but you don't have to be mean back.
We can stand up for ourselves, hold on to our values, and respond with kindness and character—even when others don't.

🧥 3. Having money doesn't necessarily mean you are rich.
True richness isn't measured by what we have. It can be found in family, love, kindness, gratitude, and the people who make our lives meaningful.

What a wonderful reminder that some of life’s greatest lessons don't come from having more—they come from who we are, how we treat others, and what we choose to do with the gifts we've been given.

💗 A little Dolly. A little ambition. A whole lot of life lessons!
☕📚🎶 Happy 9/25 Day!

Each Thursday, we have someone come up to the office and "TALK ABOUT IT THURSDAY" over the intercom. Students and staff are telling us about a book they have read. Included in the talk is: the name of the book, author of the book, favorite part, and do you recommend the book to others. Today Isabella Christian shared her favorite book. We look forward to our students sharing their love of reading with us throughout the year and they love getting their picture taken with Robbie, our RAMtastic Friend.
