❤️February is American Hart month! ❤️Students in health and wellness classes with Mrs. Taylor, Ms. Powders, and Mrs. McClung learned about and practiced hands-only CPR!
Student Council pushed around the "treat trolleys" today to bring Valentine joy to staff in their yearly service project--StuCo Loves Staff. 💜
Students fundraised, bought drinks and snacks, wrote positive cards, and put together the bags to honor our JMS staff. Thank you, StuCo!
Both JMS Global classes have begun their journey to Thailand. 🇹🇭
These students and educators embark on an experience-based learning adventure after months of in-class study.
We can't wait to follow along on their journey.

Mrs. Wooldridge's 8th grade science classes were putting Newton to the test!
This lab was designed to test the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration found in Newton's second law. We were testing the effect of changing mass on acceleration. Students set up a cart on rollers with a rubber band suspended with a tied string. Inside the rubber band is a bottle of pennies. When the string is burned, the bottle is fired forward with the same force every time, while the cart rolls backward. Students tested the effects of different amounts of pennies on launch distance.

Students in Mrs. Swift’s science class began an experiment last week to investigate how different colors of light affect plant growth. We planted 12 radish seeds in each light box using white, blue, green, red, and no light. Each Monday, students measure and record the growth of the plants. So far, all of the light boxes have successfully germinated, with some boxes sprouting 8 seeds and others up to 10. At this point, plant growth appears to be fairly similar across all groups. We’re excited to continue observing how the plants grow and develop over time under the different colored lights 🌱
Coach Foley and team 8.1 are geared up in support of our wrestling team! 🤼♂️ Good Luck Trojans!

Ms. Baker's Science Students had fun experimenting to find the perfect amount of liquid for a successful water bottle flip—and then turning their results into graphs to show what worked best!
A rainbow showed up today—no announcement, no big deal, just a nice reminder that sometimes cool things happen when you’re not expecting them. 🌈
