At Jabneh Christian Academy, everything we do is intentional, every moment, every event, every icon. Sports Day is no different. While it is filled with fun and excitement—even happening on the last day of school—our focus remains on development, inclusion, and celebrating growth. For us, Sports Day is a platform to highlight abilities, build capacity, and reinforce key developmental goals.

As a school, we begin planning immediately and prayerfully, drawing on the creative nature of our God to inspire us to do better with each passing year. We are inviting our parents to join us in this effort. Consider incorporating some of the developmental activities you saw on Sports Day into your home routines. Revisit the posts and updates we’ve shared throughout the school year. Let’s work together to strengthen the icons’ growth beyond the classroom.

We are incredibly proud of every icon who participated. Even those who didn’t win in every race displayed tremendous effort, and we saw their abilities. At Jabneh, inclusion is not optional; it is our culture. We celebrate every icon.
