Quote of the Week
“The most valuable possession you can own is an open heart. The most powerful weapon you can be is an instrument of peace.”
– Carlos Santana

Carlos Augusto Santana Alves is an American guitarist who rose to fame in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band Santana, which pioneered a fusion of Rock and roll and Latin American jazz. Its sound featured his melodic, blues-based lines set against Latin American and African rhythms played on percussion instruments not generally heard in rock. In 2015, Rolling Stone magazine listed him at No. 20 on their list of the 100 greatest guitarists. He has won 10 Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards, and was inducted along with his namesake band into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.

Will YOU support TJMS as part of a PTO?
What does a PTO do?
A parent teacher organization (PTO) gives parents and teachers the opportunity to work together to supplement and enrich the educational experience.
PTOs are valuable supports to schools, and there are a LOT of ways parents, family members, and members of the community can help to make the Jaguar experience better for our students and teachers.
