Have your "elf" a merry little Christmas
Happy Last day before break! See everyone back on Tuesday, January 6th, 2026!
It was Festive Fit day today and some of our students understood the assignment! They were rewarded with candy at lunch from StuCo!
We are proud to celebrate our JMS Teacher of the Year and JMS Classified Staff Member of the Year! 🌟
Please join us in congratulating Alicia Toy, Teacher of the Year, and Bill Tildsley, Classified Staff of the Year.
Their dedication, hard work, and commitment to our students and school community make a lasting impact every single day. They inspire excellence, support success, and truly embody the heart of JMS.
Happy holidays from all of the JMS staff to our JMS families🎅🏼🎄🎁💙
Element of the week!
Advanced Science students in Team 7-2 have been exploring the periodic table through our Element of the Week project. Each week, one student researches an element (1–26) and creates a poster highlighting its properties, uses, discovery, and natural sources. To strengthen the connection to the real world, each poster also includes a real sample containing the element.
Students present their work at the start of the week, and the posters are displayed in the 200 US hallway for the school community to view. We’re taking a break for the winter holidays, but we’ll re-activate the project in January with Fluorine—fittingly the most reactive element of the table!

Everything is better with candy—even science!
In this lab, Team 7-2 students used colorful candy pieces to model atoms, with each candy color representing a different element. Each model included a key so students could clearly indicate which color stood for which element. By building both reactants and products models, students could visualize how atoms rearrange during a chemical reaction. They also applied the law of conservation of mass by counting each candy color on both sides of the equation to make sure the numbers matched.
Once the activity was complete, students were allowed to eat their sweet, sweet atoms—of course, outside the lab! 🤓
