JCHS Girls Basketball had a great camp last week! The future looks bright!
The JCHS Band had a great week at camp! Get ready to see them at your local parades! Yesterday's theme was USA!
Today marks the final day of our Camp SMART summer program at JCMS, and we could not be prouder of everything our students and staff have accomplished over the last few weeks! It has been an incredible summer session filled with growth, laughter, and learning.
Throughout the program, our students jumped wholeheartedly into our daily enrichment activities. From diving into great books in ELA and tackling challenging concepts in math, to stretching their creativity with hands-on STEM engineering projects, they have worked hard to keep their minds sharp. Beyond the academics, it has been wonderful to watch students across different grade levels connect, collaborate, and build lasting new friendships. They truly created a kind, supportive, and energetic school community.
We closed out our program in the best way possible today! Our students celebrated at Raging Rivers, where the excitement was at an all-time high as they tested out their custom-built designs in our highly anticipated boat race. It is the perfect reward for all of their hard work.
A big thank you to the staff that made the summer program fun and engaging and to Raging Rivers Water Park for partnering with us for some extra fun learning opportunities.
🔴⚪🔵 What a way to wrap up the summer!
Our West Elementary Summer Enrichment students had an absolute blast this month. To close out an amazing few weeks of learning and fun, they wrapped things up with a massive celebration of the USA! 🇺🇸✨

Update from Camp SMART at JCMS: We are had another fantastic week of learning and fun in our Camp SMART summer program! Our students have been bringing so much energy and enthusiasm to school every day.
Here is a look at the exciting activities our students experienced last week:
Solar S’mores & STEM: We took advantage of the beautiful weather with a delicious scientific twist! Students built solar ovens to whip up sweet s’mores while staying sharp with our weekly reading, math, and STEM challenges.
Campfire Stories: Creativity was flowing at JCMS! Students delved into their imaginations to write and craft their very own spooky, silly, or adventurous campfire stories to share with their peers.
“Ranger Says” Free Time: We put a camp-themed spin on a classic game! During free time, students enjoyed high-energy rounds of “Ranger Says” to burn off some steam and practice their listening skills.
Kickball Finale: We wrapped up a wonderful week of hard work and creativity with an epic school-wide game of kickball on Thursday afternoon!
JCHS students in the summer STEM program spent the week learning about the principles of flight and the importance and strength of the tetrahedron.

🌊 Splashes, Speed, and STEM! 🚀
Our awesome JCMS Camp SMART students traded the traditional classroom for the ultimate liquid lab this morning at Raging Rivers! 🎢💧
Campers dove headfirst into water slide physics, as they filled out interactive data sheets to analyze the mechanics of motion. Instead of just enjoying the rides, students investigated how variables like height and weight translate into thrilling speed and velocity. By tracking the exact time it took to zoom down the flumes, our students practiced STEM skills they learned this school year.
The fun isn't over yet! We will be returning to Raging Rivers on June 25 for our highly anticipated boat race and a big celebration to wrap up the end of an amazing Camp SMART season. We can't wait to see our students put their engineering skills to the test on the water! 🚣♀️🎉
