Happy National Dictionary Day! 📚✨
Today is National Dictionary Day—a day dedicated to expanding vocabulary, celebrating language, and honoring Noah Webster's legacy!
We are so grateful for our long-standing partnership with The Portland Foundation and The Dictionary Project, which help put brand-new dictionaries directly into the hands of our third graders. As the first school system in Indiana to join this program more than 20 years ago, Jay Schools love seeing our students explore new words and strengthen their reading skills every day.
A special thank you to Executive Director of The Portland Foundation Doug Inman, Superintendent Jeremy Gulley (past Board President for the Foundation), and all the generous local donors who continue to make this tradition possible for our students!

A huge thank you to the Portland Fire Department for visiting our 3rd graders with the Fire Safety Trailer!
In honor of National Fire Prevention Week (Oct 4–10) and Fire Prevention Month, our students learned crucial safety lessons—including this year’s theme, "Charge Into Fire Safety: Safe Charging Is a Superpower!" ⚡️🚒
We appreciate our local firefighters for helping keep our students safe and educated!

Our 6th graders took a short walk over to the Jay County Fairgrounds to experience the Annual Tri-State Antique Gas Engine & Tractor Show. Students spent the day exploring vintage and modern farm equipment, interviewing exhibitors, and watching live machinery demonstrations. It was a fantastic opportunity to step back in time and connect history with our community! 🚜
