A special shoutout to Sophia Rice (Troop 1 Scouts) for coordinating this Eagle Scout project. Between the scouts and our other F2C volunteers, we got the entire grid down for the permeable surface, ready for gravel next week and the building of the elevated raised beds. https://www.instagram.com/p/DWNEaVjgQIy/

Thank you Jackson Association of Neighborhoods JAN for the great article. We are very excited about the opportunities these projects bring to our community.

Skate JXN’s partnership with Midtown Partners has helped translate that energy into physical spaces. When Midtown leaders began looking for ways to address illegal dumping at the Wesley and Wightman lot, Skate JXN worked with them to design a skateable feature instead of installing a fence.

✨ Make & Move Art Café Returns – This Saturday! ✨

After an incredible first gathering, we’re back for another family-friendly creative experience in Midtown at Jax-Zen Healing Arts Center.

Join us this Saturday from 11AM–2PM for our pop-up café-style art experience — where you can “order” from a menu of hands-on creative activities and move at your own pace. Stay awhile, explore, and enjoy the process.

Choose from acrylic painting, mindful watercolor, collage, mandala drawing, woven bracelets, or a Little Makers menu for younger artists. Add a short, gentle yoga session if you’d like a moment to reset and reconnect.

All supplies are included. No prior art or yoga experience needed.

🧘 Yoga sessions at 11:00 & 12:30
🎨 Drop in or make a reservation ➡ https://www.jax-zen.com/events
📍 155 Wesley Avenue

Free for the Midtown community, with support from the Community Foundation for Mississippi.

Come create. Come move. Come gather. 💛

🌱 Happy National Farm to School Month! 🌱

This October, we’re celebrating “Growing for the Future” — a reminder that healthy communities start with healthy connections between our farms, schools, and families. 🌾

At Midtown Public Charter School, we’re proud to nurture those connections every day through hands-on learning, fresh local foods, and growing together. Let’s keep building a food system that nourishes everyone — from the garden to the classroom to the community. 💚
