🎭 Spirit Week fun continues with today’s theme: Rhyme Without Reason! From “witch and Stich” to “chef and ref,” our students got creative (and hilarious) pairing up in rhyming outfits that made zero sense—but total fun! 😄👏 We love seeing all the school spirit and imagination on display! 💫
Can you guess these rhymes? Comment on the picture if you know!!!
Today is the last day to buy your Smashdown ticket, shirt, or entry fee to play dodgeball! Help support JMS through this PTAG fundraiser.
JMS Health & Wellness teachers were invited to present at a state conference (OAHPERD - Oklahoma Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance). They got to share some of the amazing things happening in their department at JMS, inspire future educators, and network with other professionals.
Way to represent JMS Trojans!

Niang will receive comprehensive academic and college advising, as well as financial support and access to summer programs, internships, and other learning enrichment opportunities.
Niang is in the AVID program at JMS where she receives guidance and support from her teacher, Noel Suggs. Her recommendation was submitted by her math teacher, Shelly Davis.
Congrats to Niang on achieving this honor!

Energy on the move!
Team 7-2 (Nolte) students brought the law of conservation of energy to life through hands-on lab stations, each showing how one form of energy powers another. Throughout science class, they’ve learned that energy can’t be created or destroyed—it simply changes or converts to other forms.
At each station, students tested how changing one factor affected the energy output, made a claim, and identified the energy conversion that took place (e.g. radiant → electrical in a solar panel or chemical → radiant in a glowstick).
These quick demonstrations showed students how science helps us understand the world around us—and emPOWERs us to harness its energy!

🎃🐐 Mr. Pillow's students had a blast learning outside the classroom! From exploring the pumpkin patch to meeting animals at the exhibit, they got hands-on lessons in nature, agriculture, and science—all while having fun. 🍂📚 What an unforgettable way to learn! 🌟

PTAG's main fundraiser is coming up next week!
Mrs. Remy’s Pre-Algebra students sharpened their skills in identifying like terms with a lively game of Math Go Fish! Instead of asking for fours or queens from a traditional deck, students used a custom math deck—requesting x’s, y’s, b²’s, or constants. Nothing like learning while having fun!
JMS families, please take a look at our October newsletter.

Ms. Kolar is popping up around the building...bringing surprises and smiles wherever her cardboard cut-out goes!
Ms. Kolar spent her week in Mrs. Demuth's 7th grade Social Studies class. She got to learn about population pyramids and encouraged the kids as they worked on their HDI & Beyond Projects.
Mrs. Demuth spread the love when she Ms. Kolared Mrs. Vargas. Who will be Ms. Kolared next?

🎾 Calling all Tennis players🎾
Mrs. Prater & Ms. Baker's Social Studies of Sports students had a special visit from Clay Martin, JPS Athletic Director and NFL Referee! 🏈 He shared his experiences in athletics and officiating at the highest level, giving our students a unique look into sports careers and leadership.
Last week Mrs. Remy's Advanced Algebra 2 students conducted a survey to see what JMS 8th graders thought about various topics including favorite subject, sport, social media platform, music type, study method, and lunch choice and also how much sleep students get and how they get to school. Some results were as expected and others were a little surprising. Either way, the students had fun working together to design bar graphs and pie charts to share the data with the whole school!
