The J-L Athletic Boosters next meeting is on Wednesday, 5/14/08 in the high school. At our meeting in March, the boosters approved the purchase of a set of high hurdles, pole vault padding, high jump and pole vault bar lifters for track, a softball pitcher protector net, and a basketball rebounder. Our current board will be stepping down at our June 11th meeting and we ask that anyone who is interested in being on the board and/or being a volunteer member, please come to both meetings. We also need volunteers to work concessions at baseball/softball games and high school and middle school track meets.
The Johannesburg-Lewiston Athletic Boosters run the concessions for track and baseball. If you are available to work concessions for one of these home games, please contact Debi Kearney 731-2040, ext 235.

We will be working on research projects next week as we prepare for our trip to Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. Some of the topics will include Henry Ford, Noah Webster, and glass blowing. Our class would like to thank Mr. Schafer (Ashley’s dad) for talking to our class about the function and importance of our kidneys.
Children’s Bereavement Network is a group of health care professionals and volunteers who created a grief forum camp for children to be held this year August 8th through 10th. Their goal is to provide a safe environment in which children can explore and express their grief. At camp, children learn healthy grieving habits and positive coping skills. They relate to other children w/similar feelings and confide in a teen buddy, who listens to their needs and concerns. Other activities: horseback riding, swimming, campfires, and crafts to enhance their experience. For more information or an application, please contact our school’s counselor, Sandy Bandt, at 731-2040 ext 234.

Elementary/Middle School teachers’ lounge
To Parents of All Students:
No student is to be dropped off before 7:50 a.m. If you pick up your child(ren) after school, please come in to the school to get them and the students will meet you outside the office. There are many vehicles in the parking lot and it is not safe for our children to be wandering the parking lot looking for their parents. Pick up passes/bus passes: Phone calls will be accepted only in an emergency for change of plans. If there is a change in plans, the parent will need to make other arrangements. If your child is being picked up instead of taking the bus a note must be received in the office in the morning. When you need to pick up your child early for any reason, you must check in at the office. Office personnel will call students from their classrooms.
