🧪🎾 Potential Energy in Action!
Our 7th grade scientists have been exploring potential energy with a little help from some tennis balls! 🎾 Students investigated how the height from which a tennis ball is dropped affects the amount of energy it has and how high it bounces back up. They tested multiple drop heights, collected and recorded data, and analyzed their results to look for patterns between height and bounce-back height. Along the way, students practiced making measurements, recording data, and using evidence to explain how gravitational potential energy changes with height.
And of course, Mrs. Swift had to join in on the fun with a little reminder that “I HAD POTENTIAL!” 😂🔬🎾

A few more "anything but a backpack" pics!
We're always surprised on "anything BUT a backpack" day!!
Staff surprised the students today for spirit week with our own day...anything BUT a regular cup!
PJs all day!
Happy 1st day of spirit week!
Become an active member of our JMS PTAG.
Monday is the first day of spirit week!!!
Come to school in your PJ's!
Seventh graders understood the assignment! After a few rounds, the winning seventh grade team beat the seventh grade staff. It was a clean sweep this year for students winning the smash down dodgeball tournament.
8th grade SMASHED yesterday at the annual PTAG Smashdown softball tournament Students 1 Teachers 0.
Spirit Week is next week in conjunction with Homecoming. All JMS students are encouraged to participate in the dress up spirit day themes. Show up and show out!
Smashdown is this FRIDAY! All students have the opportunity to watch and/or play in this fun PTAG fundraiser. See the flier for details.
Congratulations to our first 2 staff members of the month for the school year!!
Mr Pitchford, 8th grade ELA teacher
Candy Dial, cafeteria manager
Both of these educators have THE MOST school spirit!
As an extension of their plant and animal reproduction unit, Team 8-4 science students dissected lily flowers to examine the reproductive structures that make pollination and fertilization possible. Students identified each flower part, organized the specimens on dissection mats, and recorded observations and functions in their lab report worksheets.
Dr. Nolte gives a special shout-out to the families who generously donated lilies for this activity --thank you for helping our young scientists grow! 🌱
Today, Ms. Poplin's 7th grade ELA classroom transformed into a grammar scavenger hunt! To master subject and verb agreement, students paired up and moved around the room to locate and match subject and verb cards hidden on walls, doors, and bookshelves. They logged their matched pairs, identified whether they were singular or plural, and wrote out complete sentences. The students had a blast collaborating, moving around, and bringing grammar concepts to life!
his week was a busy one for Team 7-5 in Science! 🧪🚗💨 We kicked off our Kinetic Energy unit with a bang by completing TWO labs back-to-back!
On Tuesday and Wednesday, students explored how speed affects kinetic energy by heading outside and testing different walking and running speeds to see how they impacted kinetic energy. Then, on Thursday and Friday, students investigated how mass affects kinetic energy by adding mass to a car as it traveled down a ramp and calculating its kinetic energy. (🚨 SPOILER ALERT! 🚨- when either speed or mass increase, kinetic energy also increases)!
It was a busy, full, hands-on week—and LOTS of fun! We love seeing our students learning Science by actually doing Science! 🔬⚡
