JKMS’s Lunchtime Intramural Dodgeball is starting up this week with the first games being held this Thursday during lunch. Game slips with team names, game time, day of the match and location will be delivered starting this Wednesday during 4th period for 8th graders and 5th period for 6th and 7th graders. If you do not get a game slip for a Dodgeball game, on Wednesday and you signed up to play in the league it just means that your first game is not Thursday but you will get a game slip for your first match in the near future.
The JKMS Community has been understanding and kind as we have worked on solving our staff issues. In the last week, we have welcomed two teachers, Ms. Schene (Math) and Ms. Palchik (English Language Arts) to our staff. Please take the time to welcome these two teachers if you have an opportunity.
“Seek first to understand, then be understood.”
Best,
