On the boys side, it was junior Andrew Sacket winning 1st place, followed by sophomore Kyle Covey in 4th place. Senior Matt Woodruff finished in 9th place and sophomore Marshall Baker finished in 10th place.
Great job to the Comet bowlers and their coaches!
Huge thank you to our friends at Jonesville Lumber!! Their donation is keeping two construction classes busy at the High School. Our classes at JHS learn about power tools, then use that learning to build a dimensional lumber project with materials provided by Jonesville Lumber. Students are building benches, tables, or whatever else they came up with. Next week we will begin to learn the process of building a shed. Then we build sheds! As of this posting, we have two clients lined up for sheds. We have room for up to 4 more. Email Jeff Dice if you are interested: jdice@jonevilleschools.org. Or text him at 989-246-4298.

Mr. Maxwells 7th grade Science class had fun learning about static electricity with a Van de Graaf generator.
Students in National Park Science elective made stalagmites and stalactites to resemble the formations in Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota. We super saturated a water solution with Epsom salts (by heating the water and dissolving the substance). We are watching as the water evaporates over the next few days to see if we get some cave like formations. We hope to zoom with park rangers soon.
This week, Miss Halcomb's classes worked on writing letters to someone in their family for Valentine's Day. Students made rough drafts of their letters, edited them, and made final drafts. Then, students worked on addressing envelopes, and counting change to buy their own stamp at the post office to mail them home!
Jonesville Middle School is fortunate to have a guidance counselor, a mental health counselor, and a behavior interventionist available to our students. Thank you, Mrs. Elder, Mrs. Conklin, and Mrs. Brown! We are lucky to have you.
