Why I Love Jones

"Jones Elementary is a truly special place, rich in history and positive energy—you can feel it the moment you walk through the doors. The staff and leadership are dedicated to nurturing each child's potential and talent, and I’m especially grateful that they recognize the power of the arts in education and are making it a priority. As a Teaching Artist and manager of the drama partnership between Jones and Nashville Children's Theatre, I’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative impact of the arts. Because of Jones' commitment to arts education, their students are gaining invaluable tools for success, and NCT is proud to be part of this journey. We look forward to a bright future together!"

"I really enjoyed the dance program and Jones. I learned a lot from my dance teacher and my dance sisters. This year, I am Mufasa in The Lion King. It is really exciting exploring the different ways I can act out this character. I can't wait to bring this character to life at our upcoming Lion King Musical performance!"
