"Aces in the Community" is a student-driven project developed by Jones to improve the community. Jones will offer students a chance to positively impact their community through a hands-on experience. A theme will be introduced to the class and teams of students will conduct research to connect a community need with the classroom theme. Each team will draft and present a multimedia proposal suggesting a community service event to address the need in the community. The classroom will vote on and implement the winning plan. Jones, who lives in Cheney, will encourage students to reach out to parents and community members for information and assistance to improve the community.
