Research is showing that dyslexia is genetically based and passed from parents to children. Between twenty-three and sixty-five percent of children with dyslexia have a parent who is dyslexic. It is not uncommon for dyslexia to affect several people in the same family, and most dyslexics will generally have someone else in their extended family who also struggles with dyslexia. The familial nature of dyslexia has been recognized since the beginning of the last century.

- Difficulties with handwriting (dysgraphia)

The newest Jemicy alumni, all rising college freshman, gathered on the steamy evening of August 14 before heading off to their respective colleges and universities in various regions of the country. The annual Alumni Cookout took place in the Phyllis and Leonard J. Attman Family and Alumni Center. Alums who completed their Y Group year and attend other local high schools came together with the Upper School Class of 2019 to share summer tales and college expectations. They spoke highly of their Jemicy education and sounded confident about the next phase of their education. Ben, Tim, Megan, Michael, Mamie and various teachers congratulated them and wished each and every one the best during the next four years.
