Thank you, Dolphin families, for your generous donations to the Jackson Davis Dolphin Fund!! We went above and beyond our goal this year! Because of that, the whole school will have a PJ day that will be announced soon and the top classes in each grade get a donut party! Those classes are-

Kindergarten- Mrs. Woods

1st grade- Mrs. Burnette

2nd grade- Mrs. Swink

3rd grade- Mrs. Smith

4th grade- Mr. Cochran

5th grade- Mrs. Bennett

Because of your generosity, the PTA will be able to do our work of supporting families, students & staff.

The annual Dolphin Fund is our largest fundraiser of the school year. In past years, the Dolphin Fund drive began in the fall. With the virtual start to the 2020-21 school year, we have postponed the drive until the spring. However, donations for Dolphin Fund are accepted all year. 100% of funds raised directly benefits our students. If you would like to donate online, you can make a payment through Pay Pal (the link is located to the right on the home page) or you may send a check to the school addressed to Jackson Davis Elementary School PTA.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
