Last night, the City of Jonesville awarded citizen of the year to three former Jonesville School alum: Dr. Leising, former teacher and current volunteer at WES, and Hayden James and Carson Laney who are 2020 graduates. Their stories of gratitude and service was a model of what the award is about. Though I did not have the pleasure of knowing the two graduates, it was clear the reason they were awarded youth citizens of the year. Congratulations and Go Comets!
From Mrs. Mandrelle: Thursday was the culmination of our engineering unit. All week we imagined, designed, and built pop bottle rockets. It was a beautiful day for a launch. The goal was to get it to go as high as possible and land the egg astronaut safely. Top launch today was about 50 feet with the egg survival. Highest launch overall was about 75 feet with an unfortunate ending to the egg. Overall we had a success rate of 16 out 28 eggs surviving launch and landing.

We have been overwhelmed with shed requests!! The JCS community is awesome!! Thanks to so many of you who have expressed interest in supporting our Trades classes. At this time we have more than 20 requests for sheds!! I wish we had the time to build them all. Hopefully, you will have more opportunities to support our program. Our students are excited to build stuff. Next year we hope to have more students who want to do that. But at this time we are at our limit (and then some). The pricing comes down to materials and discussions with the client on what they feels is a fair price. Thanks! Go Comets!
The Jonesville Middle School staff was honored to wear their "Raise Hope & Foster Dreams" t-shirt (provided by Hillsdale and Branch County branches of MDHHS) to provide awareness around the great need for foster care.
Keep Kids in Our Community!
Wear your t-shirt with school pride,
While spreading the message far and wide.
Our kids need places to lay their heads,
Our county is lacking foster home beds.
Children are leaving schools, teachers, and friends,
Recruiting foster families will help end these trends.
Our kids need us to do our best,
To find loving families on our quest.
You can help, it is simple you see,
Just sport this shirt around the community!!!
Happy Pi Day! Mrs. Rice's class practiced calculating circumference today to celebrate.
National Parks Science completed their final project of the trimester last week. The students made dioramas of their favorite park. These included labels to a key describing key features of the park. See if you can pick out the parks and some of the pieces that make each park unique!
Good evening Comet families! This is just a reminder that tomorrow Friday, March 10th is a half day for all students. Please make arrangements accordingly. Have a good night and go Comets!

Hat Day is tomorrow, Friday, March 3! Please bring $1.00 to wear a hat. Money will be donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Good evening Comet families! I'm sorry for the late message but our last issue was just resolved. We are good to go for school tomorrow. Thank you for your patience and we look forward to seeing your student(s) tomorrow!
Good afternoon Comet families! A quick update on where we are at. Internet is up and running at the schools. JHS/JMS are both good to go. WES is having issues with the heat. We have people working on it but that's as much as I know right now.
I want to thank Tom, Vern, Lucy, and others who helped keep the power going and moving food around so it wasn't spoiled. There were quite a few people who have been working to try to get our kids back in school. We are lucky to have them!
I will give you another update when I know something more definitive. I hope you are all well!
Good evening Comet families! I hope this message finds you safe and well, though I know we are in different states of “well”. In looking at the outage map for Consumers, it does not look like we are going to be ready to go by tomorrow so we will not be in session tomorrow Friday, February 24th.
I know this time has not been easy for you all and I hope it gets better soon. We will see our Comets on Monday, February 27th. Stay safe and stay warm
