Our Annual Pajama Day
In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O LORD, make me to dwell in safety.
~Psalm 4:8
With so many interesting things to do in just one day everyday, something has to give and many of us give up sleep. This is not unique to adults. Our children have have the same solution.
Parents want children to do well academically and will encourage hours of late night studies. Please see the article below.

Sleep Deprivation
It is no longer a secret that too many at this time are sleep depraved. Are you or your child/children apart of the statistics?

4. Sleep helps and supports children’s growth and development.
5. Sleep helps the brain to work properly.

7. Sleep repairs the heart and blood vessels.
8. Children who are sleep depraved may have issues getting along with others, controlling their emotions and behaviours and also coping with changes.
9. Sleep deficiency can result in depression, suicide and increased stress.
10. Lack of sleep increases one’s risk of obesity.

Celebrating Uncle Josiah’s Transition
Uncle Josiah has been with the Jabneh Christian Academy family for as long as ever and in different capacities. He once was an extraordinary icon who aced his programme here and had a number of CXC’ by the time he was twelve years old.
He is also one of our first icons to sit the Associated Board of the Royal School of Music Examination here at Jabneh.
He is an excellent musician and seeks to be the world’s greatest in this field. As a result, he will transition from being a member of Jabneh’s dedicated team to a student at Edna Manley College of Visual and Performing Arts .
We are clear that he will do what icons do -be excellent in all his endeavours!
We are sure that he is a trendsetter and will lead his generation into freedom through excellent, godly music.
Uncle Usiah, as he is affectionately called by the Early Stimulation Unit, we will miss you, however, it is our pleasure to release you to chase your dreams and become all that destiny desires.
Take the time to visualize your end. This will be one of the most valuable thing you could do for yourself. Having a clear vision of the end will help you live every day in a manner that will cause your mental creation of the end to manifest in reality.
We declare grace, peace, truth and excellence upon you.
Go light your world, uncle Josiah!
