Come out and enjoy artwork made by both first and second semester junior. high art students from the 2023-2024 school year. There is a lot of talent on display this year and we are looking forward to showcasing all of it! It will all take place from 6-8pm Wednesday, May 8th. The newly-renovated library will serve as a fun space to host the event! Students will be notified beforehand as to whether or not they have work in the show (not all students will have work on display). I can't wait to see you there!

***There will be an informational marching band meeting directly after the concert for 8th grade families.***

Our last student council social event of the year is on Saturday, May 11th from 6-8 PM! Join us for our Retro-Neon Spring Fling. Admission is $5 at the door. While a DJ will still be playing music and students are welcome to dance, we will also have outdoor activities, as weather permits. Bring extra money for pizza and Lil E's if you wish. If you are able to chaperone or donate supplies, please see the following sign up. We appreciate your support!

This week our student council took time to show our bus drivers how much they are appreciated.

The Madison County Family and Children First Council recently held an informational meeting for families regarding the dangers of vaping and e-cigarettes. A recording of the meeting can be found here.

Moving forward, we are only able to accept checks from parents and/or students made out to the following:

• Jonathan Alder Local Schools
• JA
• Jonathan Alder

Sometimes parents ask that school personnel administer medication to their child during the school day. When this is necessary, we require written permission and instructions from the parent and in some instances from the doctor. The required form must be completed and turned in to the junior high office with the medication to be administered.
