Dear Parents and Guardians,

Students have been working hard throughout the summer, and we look forward to recognizing their participation with a day of fun and celebration.
All students enrolled in Summer Jam are invited to participate in The Great American Movie Day, which will be held at the school and will include movies, games, snacks, and activities. In addition, students who have demonstrated strong attendance throughout the summer will be recognized with a special Glow Day Celebration. Students who have four (4) absences or less during Summer Jam will be eligible to participate in this exciting attendance incentive event.
We encourage families to continue supporting daily attendance as we finish the summer strong. Remember attendance matters! Thank you for partnering with us to make Summer Jam a successful and rewarding experience for our students. We look forward to celebrating with students on July 2nd!

Sincerely,
Summer Jam Staff�J.S. Abrams Elementary School
