Comet community! The Jonesville FFA program received some more great news! Ms. Stubbins wrote a grant for a livestock barn. This barn will be larger than the existing one and will allow us to hold classes on the location and it was approved! This will be a great addition to our program. Go Comets!!!

Comet community! If you haven't heard, this has been a great week for our kids. Our FFA kids went to Lansing this week for the state convention. Hunter Bognar was nominated President for the upcoming school year. Alexis Ewing won Star in Agriscience. Hannah Young and Lucas Kyser were Gold Award State winners. Carley Graves and Lilly Russell were Silver Award winners. And Ryder Cornett was a Bronze Award winner. He also made an excellent guide and host to me. What I was most impressed by was how good all the kids from around the state were to each other. What a supportive community! Our band earned 1's at the band festival! This is no easy feat. They have shown so much growth under our new director Mrs. Ortell. We have four high school students: Helena Muenst, Ava Kramer, Jenna Hadley and Rachel Mayhew whose artwork was chosen to be a part of this year’s JXN Art Teachers Art Show at Art634. The reception to view their work is Saturday March 9th, from 1-4 pm. We have our bowling teams and a wrestler (Evan McColley) competing at the STATE level this weekend! Our boys basketball team will be competing for the district championship tonight in Concord. This is a great week to be a Comet. We have great kids who are doing great things. We are all very proud of their hard work and wish them congratulations and best of luck! I also want to thank all of the coaches and parents who are behind them supporting and encouraging them through their journey. It’s a sacrifice for all involved. When you see the student, or the adult, pat them on the back and congratulate them. They’ve earned it. Go Comets!

The athletic department would like to introduce our new varsity volleyball coach - Sydney Barrett! Coach Barrett is a former four year varsity Comet athlete in volleyball, basketball, and track. After high school graduation, she took her volleyball game to Hillsdale College. She played and started four years there, where she was a two year captain, a two year GLIAC Libero of the year, and an Honorable Mention All-American. After graduating from Hillsdale College, she worked on their volleyball coaching staff until she took over the Jonesville volleyball program from 2015-2019. She was also a former 1st grade teacher at Williams Elementary from 2012-2022. A quote that she made during the interview says it all about Coach Barrett - "This school and community holds a huge place in my heart and I am excited to once again have the opportunity to bleed ORANGE and BLACK, like I have for the past 25 years as a student, teacher, and coach." Welcome back Coach Barrett! Once a Comet, always a Comet!

Huge thank you to our friends at Jonesville Lumber!! Their donation is keeping two construction classes busy at the High School. Our classes at JHS learn about power tools, then use that learning to build a dimensional lumber project with materials provided by Jonesville Lumber. Students are building benches, tables, or whatever else they came up with. Next week we will begin to learn the process of building a shed. Then we build sheds! As of this posting, we have two clients lined up for sheds. We have room for up to 4 more. Email Jeff Dice if you are interested: jdice@jonevilleschools.org. Or text him at 989-246-4298.
