Bottle and Can Drive
Proceeds benefit both the Jazz Band and the PTO. Please drop off your recyclables!
Opportunity for Parents and Guardians
To honor those who died in active military service, several JMS students are available to interview local adults about friends or relatives who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. These students will then write a brief piece about these servicepersons, to be shared with the interviewee and community on Memorial Day. If you would be interested in being interviewed by a student about such an individual you have known during your life, please send an email to Principal Chapman at kchapman@rsd6.org . Thank you!
