JCMS concluded our new reading initiative called “One Book, One School” with a live, virtual author visit from Caitlin Alifirenka, co-author of I Will Always Write Back. Through an energetic and engaging session, she told the story of her friendship with Zimbabwean penpal Martin Ganda and how they changed each other’s lives. Our students really connected with her message of “Kindness is Contagious.”

JCHS teacher Mrs. Heitzig challenged her Design Interns last week to individually raise $200 by using classroom resources to help provide funds for Christmas gifts for our JCHS students who would otherwise go without. Annie Walker and Elizabeth Stidd exceeded the challenge goals. When it's all said and done, Annie will have raised well over $500. While quarantined, Elizabeth still managed to exceed her $200 goal by using her resources from home. We are very proud of these girls and all the students who participated for their hard work and caring spirit!
