Attention JMS 8th grade families:

We are quickly approaching the end of year pool party and picnic for 8th grade students. The party takes place on the afternoon of June 1 at Main park/pool. Students are bussed with staff to the pool.

JMS and MMS are joining forces this year to host an exciting day at the pool and park for our 8th grade students. We need your help in securing snacks, drinks, decor and some fun raffles. Items should be dropped off at 698 Country Club Drive or 1386 Craigview Drive by Thursday, May 27.

If you have any questions, please contact [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) or [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).

The Bake Sale has been our largest fundraiser of the year in the past, so we really need your help to make it an even bigger success this year!
