Art/Industrial Art and Robotics

8^th Grade Language Art

The Jamestown School appreciates the outstanding efforts of the community to help provide the best possible quality of education for our children. And also the understanding that the school budget does not always provide for the tools that would be helpful in supplementing the teaching skills of our staff. Therefore, this web page will provide an arena in which teachers can post their "Wish Lists" for extra materials that would be helpful in the classrooms.
