Comet families! Jonesville Community Schools has been in conversations with the Cascades Conference about moving to their league. Last week, they extended a formal invitation to the Cascade Conference. I am well aware of the history that Jonesville has with the Big 8 and this is not a decision to be taken lightly, so we have had small committee meetings with community members and staff about this potential move.
We would now like to extend an invitation to the larger community about this. We will be holding a Q&A on Tuesday, June 21st for families interested at the Jonesville High School at 6:00. Please come with any questions you may have.
This is an exciting opportunity for JCS, but I want to be sure that all questions and concerns are answered before a formal decision is made. We hope to see you then! Go Comets!!!

An assembly was held yesterday, the last day of school, for all Williams Elementary students and staff to celebrate the money raised for the American Heart Challenge earlier in the year.
As a "reward", any student who each raised over $100 was able to put a pie in the face of a principal.
Mr. Grimm and Mrs. Crabill were the recipients of 24 pies to the face with the 25th pie going to Mr. Stroble!
Williams Elementary staff held a reception Monday after school to honor their retirees. After a collective 65 years at Williams, Mr. Shaffer, Mrs. Bernklau, and Mrs. Cooley are now ready to embark on their next adventure.
They will be greatly missed, and we wish them the very best!

Students at Williams Elementary School were able to participate in Field Day last week.
Mr. Stroble, with the help of many volunteers (Thank You!), pulled off a couple of amazing days! There were smiles and laughter all over and it is safe to say that the students had a great time!
Recently 5th grade students enjoyed a fun filled day exploring the Historic Sauder Village. Students had the opportunity to visit a 1920’s Main Street with shops and attractions. They explored native and early colonial settlements, along with learning about different trades from the printing press, blacksmith, tin maker, and so much more.
From Williams Elementary School:
Our 5th grade students recently learned "hands-on" by using the Engineering Design Process with the goal of building miniature boats.
Making science and engineering fun, in collaborative groups of three, students learned the science behind what makes crafts float and then designed and built either a paddle boat or a sail boat.
Using the St. Joe River as our race venue, all boats were launched in heats. After the raft races, finalists of both sailboats and paddle boats were determined and then the boats raced again for final standing.
The winners were:
Paddle Boat- 1st place: Alanna Burrece, Daisy Dihle, & Carter Wagle 2nd place: Adaya Anglin, Fallon Meyer, & Harrison Green 3rd place: Briggs Baker, Tyler Robinson, & Nora Zimmerman
Sailboat- 1st place: Blayke Nichols, Olivia Babcock, & Miah VanSickle 2nd place: Mariah Blaker, Jordan Duque, & Taylere Seiy 3rd place: Alaina Griva, Alaina Wert, & Hailey Milligan
This week students in Mrs. Snyder's 3rd grade class participated in a fossil dig. The dirt from the Aurora Fossil Museum had A TON of fossils in! The kids found a variety of teeth, shells, coral, and other indistinguishable fossils/fossil parts. They really had a fun time at the miniature dig!
Jonesville Mission will be providing their fresh food boxes tomorrow at the Carl Fast Memorial Park at 4:00.

Snyder's Pizza!
Before Spring Break, the students in Mrs. Snyder's 3rd grade classroom put their fraction knowledge to the test. They had pizza orders placed by teachers to make. They had to create the pizza and then deliver it to the teacher that placed the order. Some orders were fairly easy like the order example in the picture and some were more difficult (1/8, 2/4, 1/2) because the fractions were mixed within one pizza.
Students did a wonderful job with this project!
