NO AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM ON 10/13/26!
What should happen to a school that closed years ago?
My 6th graders are tackling that question in "Voices at the Table," a project where each student takes on a role (alum, nearby resident, council member, developer, local kid) and builds an argument from that point of view. They research the real building, hear memories from alumni, then deliver team statements at a mock town hall.
Same building, different perspectives.

The bond includes repairs and improvements to older roofs throughout the district. Some areas have experienced ongoing issues with aging roofing materials and standing water. These repairs will address current concerns, help prevent further damage, and extend the life of our buildings. This is an important investment in protecting our facilities and ensuring safe, reliable schools for students and staff.
Mrs. Berry’s third grade class is exploring Newton’s Laws this week during their science unit on Force and motion. Students had fun exploring an introductory experiment on force using rubber bands and marbles.
The bond includes much-needed HVAC upgrades at both the high school and EMS. These improvements will replace aging equipment, improve reliability, and provide more consistent heating and cooling throughout the buildings. Updating these systems will help create a safer, healthier, and more comfortable learning environment for students and staff while reducing the challenges and costs associated with aging equipment.

Last Saturday, the JCN Cross Country team traveled to Centralia Lake for a meet. While the course was wet and muddy, the team competed well. The girls team placed 3rd overall, and the boys team won handily. Individual medal winners were Ella Seymour (7th), Rowan Robey (9th), Maddie Gerety (17th), Max Kane (3rd), Tucker Bryant (10th), Scotty Roloff (13th), and Caliber Beecham (22nd). The next meet for the team is this Saturday at the University of St. Mary in Leavenworth at 9:00am.

Bond Question 1 provides much-needed infrastructure improvements to help ensure safe, healthy, and reliable schools for our students and staff. Much of the proposed roof and HVAC work involves replacing equipment that has reached or exceeded its expected lifespan. This equipment has served the district well for 30–45 years, but it is now in serious need of replacement.
