JCS gives thanks to all who have made the greatest sacrifice to our nation. On a day filled with family and friends, please take a moment to remember those who are no longer able to.
Mrs. Angel's class received strawberry popcorn from the local business, Seed of Hope out of Reading, MI. Strawberry popcorn is one of the healthiest, tastiest snack foods available. It has 350 times more antioxidants than white or yellow popcorn. When popped, the kernels are small and white and crunchy. Unlike what you might guess, it does not taste like strawberries. Its name comes from the small red ears which resemble strawberries. Sending a huge thanks to Hank and Tami from The Seed of Hope for sharing your delicious treat with us!
Here at Williams Elementary, this year Earth Day was extra special! S.T.E.M. students from kindergarten through 5th grade were immersed in the importance of protecting our planet and taking action.
The younger grades learned about recycling and conserving our natural resources, pollination, planting flowers in the Children’s Garden, and raising and releasing Painted Lady butterflies. Our little scientists witnessed the new butterflies uncurl their long tongues, or proboscis, and drink the nectar from the flowers they had planted themselves! (Now that’s hands-on, minds-on learning!)
A big thank you goes out to Mrs. Warner for coordinating all of these activities for our students.
Comet community! I wanted to update you on the bond progress. We finalized the scope of the bond on Tuesday. We had to have 75% or higher agreement for a project to be approved and were able to have 83% agreement with our final vote. We will present the bond proposal to the board at our June 12th study session which will be at the Jonesville Middle School library at 6:00. I hope you are able to make it out to see what is included. There are a lot of needed projects being addressed and needed updates including safe and secure entryways.
I am still taking questions for my "Lessons with Les" series that we are going to do. This is a time for Les Hutchinson and myself to answer community questions with a video series. Here is the link to post YOUR question: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FG5TYDK

Older students researched different types of pollution, helped clean up the grounds of our own school district, recycled paper products, and created beautiful and informative Earth Day Posters. These posters decorated the halls and acted as reminders how everyone can save, protect, and take care of our Earth.

Students in the Jonesville GSRP program had a great last week. They had fun chasing bubbles, drawing with sidewalk chalk, finishing a few experiments, and had a great time enjoying an outdoor adventure day complete with a bounce house! This was a great group of kids and the GSRP staff will miss them. We now look forward to accepting students for the 2023-2024 school year. If you know someone who has a child that will be 4 years old by September 1, 2023 that has not filled out an interest form, have them visit www.greatstarthillsdale.com to start the process.
