Here at Williams Elementary, this year Earth Day was extra special! S.T.E.M. students from kindergarten through 5th grade were immersed in the importance of protecting our planet and taking action.
Older students researched different types of pollution, helped clean up the grounds of our own school district, recycled paper products, and created beautiful and informative Earth Day Posters. These posters decorated the halls and acted as reminders how everyone can save, protect, and take care of our Earth.

Thank you to all who were able to help make the evening a success and to all who attended.
Last night, the City of Jonesville awarded citizen of the year to three former Jonesville School alum: Dr. Leising, former teacher and current volunteer at WES, and Hayden James and Carson Laney who are 2020 graduates. Their stories of gratitude and service was a model of what the award is about. Though I did not have the pleasure of knowing the two graduates, it was clear the reason they were awarded youth citizens of the year. Congratulations and Go Comets!
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.
Each year, the top fifteen seniors in the entire Big 8 conference are recognized as the Big 8 Academic All-Conference team. Students are selected by a formula combining simplified grade point average and college entrance test scores.

Jonesville Community Schools would like to offer Damion Scharer a second congratulations as he is the 2023 Big 8 Academic All-Conference team captain (the top academic student in the conference).
