Financial Aid season is well underway! If you haven't already, filing the FAFSA is the first step towards receiving financial aid in the 2025-26 school year. Seniors who demonstrate that they have completed and filed the FAFSA form can stop by the counseling office to receive a treat this month!
Also, check out these amazing scholarship opportunities that the Class of 2025 has in front of them. We will continue to update this spreadsheet as we continue receiving opportunities. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q_IqjEscavalNZjk18jwX4JHoGRoJIYFi52BqQfl-40/edit?usp=sharing

Attention: Our Comet Cruisers Running Program needs your help.
We offer a "couch to 5K" running program for our older students. We call it "Comet Cruisers." We train during March, April, and May culminating with our own Riverfest and compete in a 5K race.This program is designed to encourage active and healthy lifestyles through teamwork and exercise.
One of the best points of this program is that students not only get a certificate of completion and a T-shirt, but they also receive a pair of running shoes that they can continue to use after the program is finished. These students can then continue their training and active lifestyle beyond the program.help.
The cost to sponsor each runner is $80. We are hoping to offer the program to 40-50 students in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade and about 15 “student coaches” from 6th grade.
If you sponsor 3 or more students, your business or personal name will appear on the back of our t-shirt we use at our final run.
Thank you for supporting our youngest community members!
(please use the attached form to submit your sponsorship or contact Rachel Mandrelle through email: rmandrelle@jonesvilleschools.org)
