JMMS Teachers in Full Costume!
The teachers showed off some fun costumes on Friday, and the kids voted for their favorites! Our winners were Mr. Blandine as Scooby Doo, Mrs. Able as the Mummy, Mr. Baker as a USA Hockey player, and Mr. Jones as a lighthouse. Lots of smiles and laughs as Scooby and the gang went looking for clues during 8th grade lunch...

Parents and Teachers Together
P.A.T.T represents Parents and Teachers Together! One of our goals as the Parent Group is to create fun activities for the students, while showing our support to the teachers and staff. Various events throughout the school year are put on by the P.A.T.T. Another goal that we have is to raise funds for J.M.M.S, to allow for upgrades around the school!
Getting involved with JMMS PATT is a way to support students, teachers, and the school community. Families can help by volunteering at events and activities, supporting fundraisers, or sharing ideas.
