A new group has been started at JMS to help with two specific missions: 1) to provide students who are new to our school with a welcome gift that includes a few Jasper spirit pieces and 2) to help students throughout the year who need clothing items provided for them. Our first initiative is to help get more spirit wear out to people . . . parents, siblings, grandparents, students . . . so that everyone has a chance to show their Jasper pride. We have set up an online store for people to purchase from. A portion of all sales will go into the Welcoming Wildcats fund. Additionally, on the store is a DONATE button where people can simply donate to our mission if they don’t want to purchase anything or in addition to their purchase. Please check out the online store at THIS LINK. Or, see the attached flyer. There are items at various price points, quality, and name brands.

Students can still sign up for this trip! There is still room on the buses if your child has not registered. Please do so as soon as possible, though, to ensure a seat. Once the 4th bus is filled, we will not be able to take any more students.

Fundraiser forms and payment are due Monday, November 7

Please make sure the student’s name and a phone number are on the form

Double check your payment to ensure it matches the total amount due

Delivery is estimated for the week of December 5

GJCS is looking at ways to improve our website and social media sites. Please take a few minutes to give us your feedback on how to do so!

It is starting to get a little cold! If your child is missing a sweatshirt or jacket, remind them to check out the lost and found! We have also collected an assortment of water bottles.

The JMS Student Council will be selling ice cream bars during lunch on Fridays. Cost is $2. All proceeds will go to the Student Council to be used on activities, events, and resources for the JMS student body.

All of our weekly newsletters will be archived on our website. You can use this link to access them directly - https://jms.gjcs.k12.in.us/parents/jms-newsletters . Or you can go to our website and click "Menu" and then "Parents" to find them.

Each week of the school year, we will be recognizing two Students of the Week for each grade level. Students are nominated for this recognition by staff members for a variety of reasons. It could be based on Academics, Behavior, Character, or Improvement. All of the nominees are then voted upon by the staff to identify the six winners for that week. This week's winners include:

6th Graders - Anna Renner and Jack Keusch

7th Graders - Liv Schultz and Eli Werner

8th Graders - Stella Mahar and Donovan Pauw

Coach Schroeder and Coach Nowotarski will be holding winter conditioning every Tuesday for any girl soccer player that is interested and currently not playing a sport. Training begins Tuesday, November 8th, 5:30-7:00. Training will continue every Tuesday until February 27th. Please feel free to contact the coaches with any questions. Those interested need to meet in the athletic lobby at 5:30.

The National Archery in the Schools Program is going to begin on Monday, November 7th at the JHS auxiliary gym. The middle school session will be from 6- 7:30 p.m. Please bring a parent to this initial session to sign the waiver forms for the upcoming season. If you have any questions, see Officer Lampert.

Anyone ages 10 - 19 are welcome to come to the Public Library for these free events!

Students are reminded that we now have lots of room at the library for studying and collaborative projects. We also have study rooms available with space to spread out and work. We have study snacks available at the front desk upon request.

With the seasons changing and temperatures getting cooler, we are sure parents are pulling out the next season's clothes and finding out that their children have outgrown them. Although growth is a fact of life, some families just can't afford to replace the clothing their children have outgrown. LG4 just wants to remind everyone that we are still here and willing to help those families in need. We have attached request forms for your convenience.
