Jasper ISD News and Information for the Upcoming Week
Summer Fun Edition
Summeris a time for students and families to spend time together engaging in many of the fun activities for which there is not time during the school year. Each week, the newsletter will focus on a different aspect of summertime---summer safety, crafts, holidays, places to visit---and many other summertime topics!


Summer Fun Topic of the Week
Summer Crafts
Maybe it's raining, and the kids can't go out and play. Maybe we live in Southeast Texas, and the scorching heat of the middle of the day drives you back inside where it is cooler. Maybe you are already hearing the dreaded, "I'm bored." Whatever the case may be, summer is the perfect time for students to express their artistic talents, and the website We Are Teachers has put together a list of 55 fun, easy, and inexpensive craft ideas.

We would love to show off some of our students' summer crafts on our Facebook pages! If you would like, please send a picture of your child with their project to kimberly.parker@jasperisd.net and include:
  • Student name
  • Grade the student will be in the 25-26 school year
  • A little information letting us know why the student is proud of their craft
