Comet community! The Jonesville FFA program received some more great news! Ms. Stubbins wrote a grant for a livestock barn. This barn will be larger than the existing one and will allow us to hold classes on the location and it was approved! This will be a great addition to our program. Go Comets!!!

Comet community! If you haven't heard, this has been a great week for our kids. Our FFA kids went to Lansing this week for the state convention. Hunter Bognar was nominated President for the upcoming school year. Alexis Ewing won Star in Agriscience. Hannah Young and Lucas Kyser were Gold Award State winners. Carley Graves and Lilly Russell were Silver Award winners. And Ryder Cornett was a Bronze Award winner. He also made an excellent guide and host to me. What I was most impressed by was how good all the kids from around the state were to each other. What a supportive community!
Our band earned 1's at the band festival! This is no easy feat. They have shown so much growth under our new director Mrs. Ortell.
We have four high school students: Helena Muenst, Ava Kramer, Jenna Hadley and Rachel Mayhew whose artwork was chosen to be a part of this year’s JXN Art Teachers Art Show at Art634. The reception to view their work is Saturday March 9th, from 1-4 pm.
We have our bowling teams and a wrestler (Evan McColley) competing at the STATE level this weekend! Our boys basketball team will be competing for the district championship tonight in Concord.
This is a great week to be a Comet. We have great kids who are doing great things. We are all very proud of their hard work and wish them congratulations and best of luck! I also want to thank all of the coaches and parents who are behind them supporting and encouraging them through their journey. It’s a sacrifice for all involved. When you see the student, or the adult, pat them on the back and congratulate them. They’ve earned it. Go Comets!
Good luck to our winter athletes who will be representing Jonesville competing for a state title this week!
On Friday and Saturday, senior wrestler Evan McColley will be wresting in the individual MHSAA meet at Ford Field in Detroit in the 215 pound weight class.
Both the girls and boys bowling teams will be traveling to Muskegon's Northway Lanes on Friday to compete in the MHSAA team state finals.
On Saturday, these girls will be at Muskegon's Northway Lanes for the MHSAA singles state finals - senior Hallie James, senior Mikayla DeBoe, and freshman Harper James.
Also on Saturday, these boys will be at Muskegon's Northway Lanes for the MHSAA singles state finals - junior Andrew Sackett and sophomore Kyle Covey.
Congrats to these teams, individuals and coaches on a great season! Continue to represent Jonesville in a positive way and show your Comet Pride!
Students in 6th grade science are learning about chemical reactions. The lab was to test how controlling the reactants (the molecules going into the reaction) helps also control the products (the molecules made in the reaction). Students were given a challenge to have the products of a baking soda & vinegar reaction reach the top of the graduated cylinder without flowing over. Students had several trials to meet their goal by adjusting the amounts of baking soda and vinegar. When we finished we discussed the Law of Conservation of Matter: Atoms in a chemical reaction are not created or destroyed, they are rearranged to form new molecules.
The athletic department would like to introduce our new varsity volleyball coach - Sydney Barrett!
Coach Barrett is a former four year varsity Comet athlete in volleyball, basketball, and track. After high school graduation, she took her volleyball game to Hillsdale College. She played and started four years there, where she was a two year captain, a two year GLIAC Libero of the year, and an Honorable Mention All-American. After graduating from Hillsdale College, she worked on their volleyball coaching staff until she took over the Jonesville volleyball program from 2015-2019. She was also a former 1st grade teacher at Williams Elementary from 2012-2022. A quote that she made during the interview says it all about Coach Barrett - "This school and community holds a huge place in my heart and I am excited to once again have the opportunity to bleed ORANGE and BLACK, like I have for the past 25 years as a student, teacher, and coach."
Welcome back Coach Barrett!
Once a Comet, always a Comet!
