The video is a short 5 minute video to help us understand how systemic racism is still prevalent in our society today. To ensure we grasp the full message of what this video has to offer, please watch the video all the way to the end.

Don't forget to VOTE!

In JPP, we firmly believe in family voice. One of the best ways to ensure your voice is being heard is to get your ballots in. Local elections are, often times, the most important and the most ignored times to speak up and ensure you are getting the representation you want and deserve! On the ballot this round is 1 Senate seat, 1 State Rep seat for the Board of Education, and a few more seats that need to be filled. It's a short vote, so do it today! June 30th at 7pm is the deadline to get your ballot in. Check out the Jeffco Website for locations, registration and any other questions.
