Jones Jaguars Newsletter

Good Afternoon Jaguar Nation!

Thank you to all of our Veterans who serve within the Jones community and to those who joined us for our breakfast on Tuesday. We enjoyed a wonderful event supported by outstanding performances from our band, choir, and orchestra. Our students represented Jones with excellence, and it was a meaningful opportunity for them to personally express their gratitude to our Veterans. Thank you to HEB for donations to our event, and Thank you Rock Hill High School culinary for making all of our breakfast tacos!

Congratulations to our Jones Middle School Spelling Bee Champion, Keith Ng. Keith competed against 24 fellow 6th, 7th, and 8th graders and emerged victorious with impressive vocabulary knowledge and spelling skills. He will proudly represent Jones Middle School at the Prosper ISD District Spelling Bee.

Basketball and wrestling tryouts concluded this week, and we look forward to the start of games and meets next week.

Have a great weekend! Go Jags!
