Weekly Warrior for Families
November 18 and November 25, 2022
Thanksgiving Break - No School
Attendance Challenge
What: Attendance Competition between homeroom classes
When: October 17 - November 22
Reward: Donuts for the homeroom in each grade level with the highest attendance percentages during those days
Items needed
- Our STEM classes are in desperate need of unwanted electronics. We will take whatever you have that kids can take apart. We have very few things to reverse engineer at this time.
- Our clothes closet is in need of the following: joggers/sweatpants (girls/boys, all sizes). As you are cleaning out or shopping, help us stock our clothes closet with elastic waist pants. We will be happy to take items that are gently used or new.
Spelling Bee
8th grade to DB/DB EXCEL
8th Grade Parents,
Your child will be bringing home a permission slip for the DB/DB EXCEL field trip that will take place on 11/29/22. Please ensure your child arrives at Sevier before the tardy bell rings on this day. Also, it is important that students are not picked up early on this day as we will be in and out of the building throughout the day. We will be going to DBE from 8:30 to 11:00 and then DB from 12:15-2:30.

Hello from the Sevier PTA
Happy Friday Warrior Nation!
Almost every year before the Christmas holiday break, the KCS Family Resource Center and Homeless Education Program assist in providing holiday food assistance to some of our students/families in our district. Schools/PTA are invited to partner with them as a service project/opportunity for our students. The food that is collected supplements the students' diets while they are out of school for two weeks and not receiving free school meals. Many of our families find providing an additional 20 meals per student during the break to be a huge financial burden. If you are interested in donating please see the flyer below "December Food Drive'. Please note the food drive is actually occurring in November, but will be given to our families in December. There will be a box located in the office for donations. Please have items turned in by November 28th.
Thanks so much for all the support for our JSMS PTA. We truly appreciate it.
As always stay Warrior Proud!
~ JSMS PTA
