JCMS Families—
The next couple of weeks bring a lot of excitement to JCMS! We’ll kick things off with fun dress-up days to get everyone energized for IAR testing, followed by Spring Break, and then our students will participate in the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (our annual state assessment).
Our students and staff have worked incredibly hard all year, and we are confident they will do a great job. Thank you for your continued support in helping them feel prepared and ready to succeed!

This Week in Jersey Activities
JCHS 8th grade students in Ms. Mitchell's art classes recently completed a series of lessons exploring major historical art movements, culminating in a creative self-portrait project inspired by Cubism. As part of the unit, students researched influential artists and presented their findings to the class, building a deeper understanding of each movement’s style and significance.
For their final project, students combined their knowledge of Cubist techniques with their developing skills in acrylic painting. The result was a collection of vibrant, abstract self-portraits that showcased both their creativity and their ability to apply artistic concepts in a personal and meaningful way.
