JCMS Pawsitive Panthers - Leaving their prints on our school!



Ms. Kolkmeyer's Photoshop and Advanced Adobe classes were able to take 2nd graders drawings of "Are You My Monster?" and recreate them digitally and put them in book form. All students were able to see a drawing, illustrate and write the story, print and present the book to their 2nd-grade buddy. JCHS was happy to host the classes from Mrs. LeBlanc, Mrs. Fessler, Mrs. DeSherlia and Mrs. Weinmann.



After reading the book, “Are You My Monster?,” 2nd Grade Classes from East drew and described their own monsters on paper. Mrs. Heitzig’s Design Classes at JCHS learned to sew by hand then created felt monsters that mimicked the 2nd grader’s drawings. Pictured is the classes of Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Crone, and Mrs. Snyders.




The East Elementary parade has moved indoors. Students will parade through the school starting at 2:00. Guest can watch the students parade through the East Gym. The gym doors (on Giddings Street) will open at 1:45 for individuals that wish to watch the students.
