JCMS student council students cleaned up the bike trail in Grafton today. They also got to help the Pre-K and K students fish (as they were also visiting).




JCMS 6th grade students explored the Melvin Price Lock and Dam as well as The Audubon Wetlands today. Students had many stations, including how the lock and dam works, macro-netting, bird watching, and nature journaling. Thanks for making it a great day.


A HUGE thank you to our incredible PTO! 🎉 We are so grateful for the amazing taco bar, generous gift cards, and the fun gift raffle you provided for our staff. Your dedication to Grafton Elementary is truly appreciated! ❤️🌮 #GraftonElementary #PTO #TeacherAppreciation #ThankYou

🎉 HUGE shoutout to Taylyn Gray for reaching an amazing 800 reading steps! 🥳📚 Way to go, Taylyn! We're so proud of your hard work here at Grafton Elementary!

JCHS kicked off the seniors' last week with a pep assembly and the 2nd annual Panther Picnic! The CTE department grilled up hot dogs and many of our teachers faced off against the students in a kickball showdown - complete with the teachers showing up in inflatable costumes! It is always a GREAT day to be a JCHS Panther!

Keep up the fantastic work, Grayson! We're all cheering you on! 🙌

🌊🐢 Mrs. Bick’s class has been diving deep into their sea turtle unit this week—and today, they went on a virtual adventure they won’t soon forget!
Students took a behind-the-scenes virtual field trip to Sarasota, Florida, where they were welcomed by Mrs. Bick’s niece, Ellie, an aquarium biologist at Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium. Ellie works hands-on with non-releaseable sea turtles and gave the class an exclusive look at the incredible work being done to protect and care for these amazing creatures.
From learning about different species to seeing how sea turtles are rehabilitated, it was an unforgettable experience that brought science to life! 🌟🐢💻
