In November 2010, she came for a bit of a longer trip, having decided to take a year’s leave from SFS to spend some time and energy teaching art at the Cuatro Christian School.
The CCS Art Show has been an annual event.

"We want the parents to be involved in their kids' lives, including their education,” Jessica said. “Also, we want the kids to not only see what they're capable of, but what other kids and the school as a whole are capable of." Goal met. The Art Show had it's largest turnout ever, as parents, uncles, aunts, and grandparents came to the school to see the students' artwork proudly displayed on the walls. In addition, the students from the CCS and JCCV took turns migrating to each other's buildings to view the pieces of artwork.
"It was a great day, and a wonderful chance for the community to see the students' accomplishments displayed for all to see," said Jessica, who plans to stay until April.
