Announcements and Events:
*Students' mixed media portraits from the Belief Project are hanging in JHMS Commons! Come and have a look! It is very impressive work!
*Mark your Calendars! On Tuesday, March 10th at 6:30, JHMS will be hosting a parent night on “Social Networking.”No longer can parents know who their child is communicating with by who is calling on the phone. The internet and technological advances have opened up a whole new world for your children. Karla Swiggum, our amazing media center specialist, and Steve Whisenand, from the Teton County Public Library, will provide information on these programs. Learn how these programs work, the ways kids connect, as well as the benefits and dangers this new technology may bring.
