Snack Shack is Now Open

The Small Business Operations class, taught by Ms. Katie Johnson held a grand opening on Monday, September 12. To promote the business, the class held a poster contest amongst elementary students. The winning students received $5 in Snack Shack Cash.

The Snack Shack is open daily from 7:45 - 8:15 am. They serve a wide variety of products including fruit & yogurt parfaits, muffins, granola bars, peanut butter crackers, flavored waters, and juices. Ala cart recently opened during middle and high school lunch shifts.

Although an exact decision has not yet been made, the group agrees that all profits will be spent beautifying and promoting JCSD.

Ms. Johnson states, “I am SO impressed with the work ethic of this group. There are some who can’t be there as early because of prior engagements, but they make it up in other ways. Everyone is there and working together so well.”

Building Project Update

Construction continues in the Courtyard and Middle School Wing. The windows have been removed and filled in with masonry block. All excavation and grading has been completed and a moisture barrier has been installed. The wall in the elementary gym has been cut for new door entry into the courtyard.

The batting cages have been demolished. Work will continue after the completion of the courtyard.

In the weeks to come, concrete will be poured in the courtyard, rubber tiles will be installed, and grading for the baseball/softball batting cages will take place.

All these projects will surely enhance the aesthetic and functionality at JCSD. The finished projects will be great!

HS Students Promote Recycling

The 10th grade students in Integrated Science II are responsible for the recycling in the building throughout the year. They are responsible for picking up recycling from classrooms every Monday. In an effort to try to get everyone in the school to recycle and know the importance of recycling, students were broken into groups to present to each class PK-8. They presented what recycling is, the importance of recycling, what can be recycled at school, and what can not be recycled at school. The younger students really seemed to enjoy the presentations and the interaction with high school students. Mrs. Giraud, the high school science teacher, states, “I feel it is important for every student and teacher to know the why, what, and how's of recycling to make this as impactful as possible.”
