🌮🤠 Tacos, Trails & Tall Tales! 🤠🌮 Our Golden Agers had a wonderful time at the Jones Center Senior Luncheon celebrating with a fun Cinco de Mayo and cowboy-themed afternoon!
There was plenty of laughter, good food, raffle prizes, Lotería, bingo, and great company. It was a perfect mix of fiesta fun and cowboy charm!
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day so special. We love seeing our seniors come together to enjoy friendship, community, and a whole lot of fun.
Yee-haw and olé! 💃🤠🌮

What a wonderful way to end our After-School Program! Our students performed “The Princess and the Frog” for their families, friends, and community members, and they did an amazing job! From the costumes to the confidence on stage, each child brought the story to life and entertained everyone in the room.
We are so proud of our kids for their hard work, creativity, and courage. It was a beautiful reminder of the talent and joy that shines through our Jones Center students. 💚👑🐸
We want to send a special thank you to our staff for all their hard work in making this performance possible. Their dedication, patience, and encouragement helped our students shine!
Thank you to the families and community members who came out to support them!
