Good evening, this is Denise Jennings. There will be no school at JCN tomorrow, Thursday, February 17 due to the winter weather warning for our area. Again, there will be no school tomorrow.
P.S. I believe Jack Frost is getting encouragement from our primary classrooms. Parents of all preschool, kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade students, please remind your students they should not complete any more “snow dances” at school or at home the remainder of this school year. Even if their teachers encourage them to do so. 😊

January was a busy month in the high school library. Students came back from break and were met with several new books. We also have a reading challenge going on for students and staff, so far 28 challenges have been met. Every month there will be a drawing for anyone who completes a challenge. This month’s winner won a handmade mug and hot chocolate mix.
