Dust Devil Weekly

We certainly hope you all enjoy a restful and peaceful Fall Break. We have certainly earned this rest! Happy Thanksgiving to all to observe this holiday. I am thankful to be able to spend some quiet, and low stress time with my loved ones, and I hope you will as well.

We will see you all back, bright and early on Monday, November 27!

- Students and staff participating in the JMMS ASB sponsored Spirit Week! So many fun looks

for: Soccer Moms vs. BBQ Dads, Kindergarten vs. College, Casual vs. Fancy, Nike vs. Vans and

Padres vs. Dodgers!

-Students building bridges in Mr. Walker's Science class!

On Thursday night we held our first evening student/family event of the year with our Dodgeball Tournament! It was a fun night with many in attendance. There were many fierce battles fought on the dodgeball court. The final student team was Team Celsius! They played against the winning teacher team. In the end, the Teacher Targets prevailed; however, Team Celsius was awarded the trophy by the Teacher Targets for their sportsmanship and by the number of games they had to win to get to the Finals!! Thank you to all of the amazing participants and families that attended to support the teams! It was truly a fun night for Dust Devils!

This week we will not be focusing on much except for this well earned week of rest, gratitude, and family. Please enjoy the Fall Break from 11/20 - 11/24. We will see you all back at Joan MacQueen early on Monday morning, November 27!

If you are selling See's Candy for the JMMS fundraiser, paper orders are due back on November 29 and the online store closes on December 1!
