Jersey Community Middle School
2nd Quarter High Honor Roll
Island Naming Day at JCMS
Today, two Natural Resources Specialist from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers came to tell our students more about the Piasa & Eagle’s Nest Island Naming Contest in which JCMS students have been invited to participate in.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers St. Louis District is asking for help in naming three newly-
constructed islands located in the Upper Mississippi Navigation Pool #26. These islands are being
constructed as part of the Piasa and Eagle’s Nest Islands Habitat Restoration and Enhancement Project.
Three winners will be selected and the authors of those three names will be invited to the National Great Rivers Museum for a ceremony in May.
The teachers at JCMS are working hard to recognize some awesome students! In just the first few weeks of 3rd quarter over 225 Pawsative Panthers were handed out.
On Thursday, Paul Cook, radio personality and author spoke with P3D students during Panther Time and with psychology students in Ms. Dwyer's room.
