That’s a wrap on JSU Summer STEAM Camp! 🎉

We spent our final morning on Friday wrapping up classes on campus and our afternoon celebrating with a parent showcase open house.

We were thrilled to have 100% parent participation as students proudly shared the projects, activities, and new skills they learned throughout the week. Seeing their excitement and confidence made for the perfect ending to an incredible camp.

Thank you to our students, families, faculty, and staff for making this week so special. We had an amazing time learning, creating, exploring, and growing together.

We're already looking forward to next year and can't wait to see you again! ❤️💙💛

Thank you to Jill Harper for the ice cream cart!

Congratulations to recent graduate, Jordan Edmondson!! Good luck in all of your endeavors 🐔

We are excited to add a few new yet familiar faces to our SES family.

My name is Jordan Edmondson, and I am so excited to finally be a part of Southside Elementary School. I completed my student teaching at SES in first grade, and I knew that this school would always be home to me. I grew up in Southside, and I attended John Jones, Rainbow Middle, and Southside High School. I was a Varsity cheerleader all four years, and I graduated in 2022. I also attended Jacksonville State University, where I earned my Bachelors Degree in Early Childhood/ Elementary Education. I was a member of the Phi Mu sorority, and I graduated in the spring of 2026. My hobbies include shopping, exercising, going to the beach, and spending time with my family and friends. My goals as a first-year teacher are to build positive relationships with my future students, to create a safe and welcoming learning environment, and to impact numerous lives that will honor and glorify God alone. I am so excited to finally return home! Go Panthers!!!🐾❤️
