Blue Ribbon Day Jackson Prep recently celebrated Blue Ribbon Day, planned to give the entire Prep family, including students, faculty and administrators, the opportunity to express appreciation to people who have made a difference in their lives in some way. The ribbons printed with the words, “Who I Am Makes a Difference,” were given to everyone on the Prep campus, and they were challenged to choose four people to honor with a ribbon. The students were told that great leaders know how to appreciate others and that every great servant leader knows the importance of acknowledging people who have invested in their lives and spurred them on to become better people.
