Comet families! We have more exciting news for our schools! At the school board meeting last night, we were grateful and humbled to officially acknowledge the generous donation by Judy and Rich Hale to JCS. As you know, Judy Hale was a long time teacher of JCS educating many in the community. Additionally, she has been a supporter of the schools with her time volunteering and other donations prior to this one.
She states that her family comes first, but Jonesville Schools are her second love. We are grateful for their gift that will impact many different areas of our schools, including a Dustin Hale Fund to be used for plaques, trophies, certificates, etc. for the Dustin Hale Memorial Scholarship, the Dustin Hale Free Throw awards, and the Hale/Dunn Free Throw awards.
Thank you Judy and Rich Hale for all you do for our kids and community! Go Comets!!!
Good morning Comet families! Due to the icy road conditions, JCS will be closed today Tuesday, January 23rd. Have a great day and stay safe!
Jonesville High School students disassembling carburetors learning about the parts and what they do. Great lesson Mr. Snyder!
2nd Quarter JMS students had a great time building small walls and installing electrical boxes and plumbing in them. After removing those items, instead of throwing the lumber away, we used it to build a few doghouses. We found some scrap metal at Stoll's Metal Sales (Thanks!), bought some paint and some treated lumber, and put it all together.
These beauties are available for purchase by contacting Jeff Dice at 989-246-4298. We are asking for a minimum donation of $50 per doghouse (of course you could donate more) to help cover costs. First come, first served.
January update with JABA cash raffle information!

Today is Athletic Director Kathy Bondsteel's retirement from JCS. She has worn many hats over her career from working at Hillsdale College and Hillsdale Academy as an administrative assistant to Hillsdale Community Schools where she was the administrative assistant to the AD. She was also a spot welder, production control clerk, worked at a family owned convenience store, and a secretary at the USDA.
However, she is best known for 17.5 years as Athletic Director of JCS. She was a pioneer in that she was the first woman to be the AD in the Big 8. She was elected region AD of the year two times and worked on many MHSAA committees. She is well respected amongst her peers. She always made the officials feel welcome.
Her position is not an easy one. There are a lot of moving parts to the position and you, at times, are working with staff and athletes at their lowest in times of defeat. She always remained positive and, most importantly, cared about kids. We hope that her retirement brings her all the love (grandkids) and TIME she has earned. Thank you for everything you have done for JCS! Best of luck and go Comets!

Good evening Comet families! In light of the upcoming winter storm, JCS will be closed tomorrow. Getting to school would not be an issue but getting home will. I know half days can be challenging for some families as well. Have a nice and safe weekend. Go Comets!
Do you have a passion for volunteering?

Merry Christmas Comets!!!
Have a great break!
The ATI group, led by Mrs. Church, adopted a family for Christmas this year. It was a learning experience to stay within a certain budget. The group then headed to Cottage Inn and wrapped the presents. The group is also sponsoring a Christmas meal for the same family. It was a great experience for all that attended. Reading students also participated- with their leader Christine Firestone- and adopted their own family.
