March Review
The Grafton Destination Imagination team, "That Wasn't Supposed to Happen" competed in the Scientific Challenge agains the top 18 teams in the state and took 1st place! The team has advanced to the Global Finals, held in Knoxvilled, Tennessee at the end of May, where they will compete against teams from around the world. JLMS is represented on this team by Lauren Buck, Venus Hinojos, and Caleb Kempfer. We wish them the best of luck at Globals!!!
Congrats goes out to the JLMS Forensics team having another great season. The season concluded at the end of March with 30 groups from JLMS competing at the state meet. A big thank you to our 2 great coaches, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Jackson.
On March 15, we inducted the newest members to the John Long Middle School National Junior Honor Society Chapter. The current chapter officers along with Mrs. O'Connor (JLMS NJHS Advisor) put on a wonderful ceremony for the students who met the requirements to join this prestigious group.
Thank you to Mrs. Stanislawski and her next group of Washington D.C. trip students for putting on a great St. Patrick's Day dance. Students enjoyed good music, contests, and an open gym.
The month ended with the school taking the Wisconsin Forward Exam. A big shout out to all students on taking their time and giving their best effort on the yearly state exam. The 6th and 7th grade students still need to finish the math tests when we return from Spring Break (which feels like Winter Break). Results are usually returned in the middle of Summer by the state.
