Tonight's board meeting will be held at Williams Elementary School library beginning at 6:00 pm.
Today at the Regional Singles Bowling Competition at Jax 60, the Comet bowlers qualified 5 bowlers for next weekend's state finals in Muskegon as four Comet bowlers were in the top ten of the girls and boys final standings. Only the top seven qualify for state this year.
On the girls side, it was senior Hallie James winning 1st place, followed by senior Mikayla DeBoe in 3rd place and freshman Harper James in 7th place. Junior Hayley Steveson finished in 8th place.
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.
Congratulations are in order for some of our athletic teams as we enter state competition!

Comet community! I wanted to let you know that at our school board meeting on Monday, the JCS board unanimously elected Kayla Lewis as our new board President. In my time working with her, she has shown to be inquisitive, hard working, and an advocate for our district. We are fortunate to have her leading our board! Go Comets!!!

January is School Board recognition month. JCS would like to thank our board members for all the work they do not just on meeting nights, but also behind the scenes. There is a lot to the position that requires hours of work outside of meetings. Their task is not an easy one as they navigate the positions of so many stakeholders, but they always have the kids and staff at heart.
It should also be mentioned that last night was Travis Berlin's last night serving on the board. His life has taken him in another direction and we all wish him the best. I will miss his guidance and the patience he showed as a new person to the job. He helped me tremendously. We will be sending out information on filling that vacancy soon.
So if you see a board member out there, take a second and thank them for their service!
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!!!
