Our JES 6th grade students and staff gathered for a heartfelt and memorable moment as we revealed a special rock dedicated to Blaize Switzer. 💙
The rock stands as a symbol of love, remembrance, and the lasting impact Blaize had on our school community. Though he is no longer with us, his spirit continues to live on in the kindness, friendships, and memories shared by those who knew him. #JeffersonCUSD1
