Lots of Activities Happening This Week!

Wow!  The fall has definitely come to Jax!  I am certainly enjoying the weather and the routine which fall always brings to us in a middle school.  This week we have a number of fall items for students to take part in.

Our PTSA will be sponsoring two school dances.  On Wednesday the 6th grade Fall Dance will begin at 2:35 and end at 4:00.  On Thursday our 7th and 8th grade students will have their Fall Dance from 2:35 until 4:00.  All students must be picked up at 4:00 p.m.  Tickets are $5.00.

We also have Costume Day on Friday, October 31st!  Students have been given the guidelines which they must follow to participate in this activity.  Students who do not wish to participate in Costume Day may wear College Colors!

The students may also participate in our Early Out Football Game on Monday, November 3rd against Landmark.  Tickets are $3.00 for this event.  Students will be released at 1:10 p.m. from their classes to attend the football game.  All students will be dismissed for afternoon transportation at 2:35 p.m.
