We’re continuing our staff introductions with another amazing addition to our first grade team, Mrs. Griles!

We’re so excited to welcome her to our school family. Help us give Mrs. Griles a warm Coal Miner welcome!

One quick hour in the back courtyard, and it’s cleaned up and refreshed! Thank you to the volunteers who jumped in to assist!

If you’d like to be a part of the Green Team committee to help us with small projects that help to keep outside spaces refreshed, please email [email protected].

We’re excited to have Mrs. O’Dell join the Coal Miner family!

It was one hot week to tackle this project - but, we did it! Thank you to our amazing teacher, PTA, Midlo High, Girl Scout Troop, and C&F bank volunteers who helped us accomplish painting these fun obstacle courses around the school! We added lots of color and lots of fun. 🤩🌈💎

We are so excited to support admin and teachers as we embark on an exciting new venture - launching the House System at JB Watkins next year! Lots more to come, but see below for early info!

As we begin planning events for next school year, we are looking for a volunteer (or two, tag team with your bestie?!!) to head up the Fall Festival Committee. Please email [email protected] if you’re open to discussing - it includes some vendor coordination and booking, but we promise it’s not scary! And we have lots of info to share from past Fall Festivals.😀
