From Williams Elementary School: Students in the Fifth Grade S.T.E.M. Club worked with Mrs. Warner and Dr. Leising and recently completed their Michigan bird houses after studying their habitats and creating a natural nesting structure. Next up, investigating space and creating a model ROCKET!

We have been overwhelmed with shed requests!! The JCS community is awesome!! Thanks to so many of you who have expressed interest in supporting our Trades classes. At this time we have more than 20 requests for sheds!! I wish we had the time to build them all. Hopefully, you will have more opportunities to support our program. Our students are excited to build stuff. Next year we hope to have more students who want to do that. But at this time we are at our limit (and then some). The pricing comes down to materials and discussions with the client on what they feels is a fair price. Thanks! Go Comets!

The Construction class at JHS is excited to begin building sheds after spring break. We have two confirmed clients and are looking for at least one more. If you are interested in having a small structure built (garden shed, hunting blind, playhouse, etc.), please contact Jeff Dice via text or phone at 989-246-4298.

Friday the students then presented their product to the class. and today they celebrated their research by eating these Michigan made products. The National Cherry Festival director also sent a care package to Mrs. Snyder's class. The box of goodies included: Great Lakes Potato Chips, Sleeping Bear Farms honey, dried chocolate covered cherries, tart cherry juice, Cherry Festival Preserves, dried cherries, and official National Cherry Festival pins!

From Williams Elementary: Dr. Distributive visited Mrs. Snyder's class from the Array Hospital on Wednesday this week. Students were suited up with surgical gowns, surgical gloves, and were able to pick a surgical utensil. Students were given patients like "Amy Addition" and "Matthew Multiplication". These patients had problems like 7 x 8 that the students had to use the distributive property to solve. The students did a wonderful job with their patients.

Thank you to County National Bank and the Jonesville Branch for supporting Williams Elementary School's Third Grade! County National Bank purchased copies of the book The Lemonade War so that the third graders at WES could incorporate reading into their economics unit!

Good evening Comet families! I'm sorry for the late message but our last issue was just resolved. We are good to go for school tomorrow. Thank you for your patience and we look forward to seeing your student(s) tomorrow!

From Williams Elementary: We have been made aware that for some reason the all-call from last Sunday went out again. We apologize for any confusion. The all-call for this week should be going out around 6:00 pm tonight. At this point in time, we are planning on school tomorrow.

Good afternoon Comet families! A quick update on where we are at. Internet is up and running at the schools. JHS/JMS are both good to go. WES is having issues with the heat. We have people working on it but that's as much as I know right now. I want to thank Tom, Vern, Lucy, and others who helped keep the power going and moving food around so it wasn't spoiled. There were quite a few people who have been working to try to get our kids back in school. We are lucky to have them! I will give you another update when I know something more definitive. I hope you are all well!
