🚀TAKING FLIGHT AT JDP🚀 J.D. Parker Elementary School students are blasting off and can't hide their Parker Pride! The beloved Parker Pride Assemblies are back and better than ever—bringing the entire school together to celebrate student success, school spirit, and the values that make JDP shine. These assemblies are igniting a renewed sense of pride on campus, and District leadership– including Superintendent Michael Maine and School Board Member Christia Li Roberts (District 1)– got to witness the re-launch! And that’s not all—JDP recently welcomed Civil Air Patrol squadrons to campus as part of the Aerospace Connections in Education (ACE) Plus program. Students explored the science of flight, engaged in hands-on STEM activities, and learned how aerospace connects to the world around them. As the School of STEAM and Aerospace, JDP is creating opportunities that spark curiosity, build confidence, and launch students into the future. 🚀 #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolPROUD #IgniteTogetherMCSD🔥
