Special Visitor Comes to Jordak
Students at Jordak Elementary School were joined in the cafeteria by special guest Sully from the movie “Monsters Inc.” on Jan. 9. Sully took time out from his job at the scare factory to help Jordak pups get their day started off on the right foot. Sometimes special guests encourage students who might not otherwise have breakfast to give it a try before they head to their classrooms. Every student who went through the breakfast line also received a special Sully (or Mike) pencil.
