On the boys side, it was junior Andrew Sacket winning 1st place, followed by sophomore Kyle Covey in 4th place. Senior Matt Woodruff finished in 9th place and sophomore Marshall Baker finished in 10th place.
Great job to the Comet bowlers and their coaches!
Huge thank you to our friends at Jonesville Lumber!! Their donation is keeping two construction classes busy at the High School. Our classes at JHS learn about power tools, then use that learning to build a dimensional lumber project with materials provided by Jonesville Lumber. Students are building benches, tables, or whatever else they came up with. Next week we will begin to learn the process of building a shed. Then we build sheds! As of this posting, we have two clients lined up for sheds. We have room for up to 4 more. Email Jeff Dice if you are interested: jdice@jonevilleschools.org. Or text him at 989-246-4298.
Congratulations are in order for some of our athletic teams as we enter state competition!

Jonesville students traveled to Trine University to join several schools from the tristate area in attending the "Impact Your Future: Careers in Engineering & Science and Biomedical Engineering" day. Based on their interests, students were able to choose several different collegiate-level laboratory activities (ranging from 3D printed hip replacements to pollution clean-up to virtual cadaver dissections) to participate in.
Let's go, Comets!
