During the Jacksonville North Pulaski School District (JNPSD) Board Meeting held on June 3, 2025, several key topics were discussed that highlight the district's commitment to student engagement and academic achievement.
One of the standout presentations focused on the district's culinary program, where students actively participate in planning, shopping, and preparing meals. This hands-on experience not only teaches essential life skills but also allows students to showcase their work during school banquets. The program, supported by partnerships with local businesses like Foot Locker, emphasizes practical learning and community involvement. A notable event included middle school students delivering flowers on Valentine's Day, which provided them with opportunities to practice communication and delivery skills in a fun and engaging manner.
