My name is Cecily Parker. I am the proud principal of Jenkins Elementary School. I am super honored to partner with you this school year to ensure our scholars are achieving academically, socially, and emotionally. The past few years, we have overcome many obstacles as parents, friends, community members, scholars, and educators. I believe that our challenges were turned into opportunities to demonstrate how we persevered. Our scholars, parents, and Jenkins’ staff have demonstrated how hardwork and dedication can lead to student success.
Our theme this year is Buckets of Joy, which comes from the book “How Full Is Your Bucket” by Mary Reckmeyer and Tom Rath. The story talks about every moment matters and how each of us has an invisible bucket. When our bucket is full, we feel great. I am excited to see our Jaguars Paw Stamp Success this 2022-2023 school year by filling their bucket with all the knowledge we have to offer.
