📚✨ Guest Reader Spotlight! Students recently had the chance to use their PBIS points to purchase a special experience—becoming a Guest Reader! This time, Ms. Elson shared Smart Cookie with our second graders. In this heartwarming story, a little cookie feels unsure of her smarts while surrounded by clever cupcakes and brilliant rolls. But with a sprinkle of confidence and a dash of creativity, she learns that being smart isn’t just about perfect scores—it’s about believing in yourself. 💡🍪 Way to go, Ms. Elson, and great job to all our Roadrunners making the most of their PBIS points! 👏 #PBISinAction #RoadrunnerReaders #SmartCookie #SVUSDShines #EmpoweringYou #SVUSDProudARatedDistrict

🐾✨ Future Coyotes in the House! ✨🐾 Last week, JCMS was thrilled to welcome all SVUSD 6th graders to campus for an exciting preview of middle school life! 🎉 Our visiting students were greeted with a warm welcome from the JCMS Band and Student Council, followed by an introduction from Assistant Principal Pizutto and Principal Wright. They got a sneak peek at all the fun, learning opportunities, sports, and activities that await them next year! 🎶📚🏀 Student Council led small group tours across campus, giving 6th graders a chance to ask questions, learn the layout, and hear straight from current students about what to expect. It was a great day for peer-to-peer connection—because sometimes it’s easier to ask someone who's been there! 😊 We’re excited to have them join the pack soon—because there’s a lot of fun and learning ahead at JCMS! 💙🐺 #JCMSCoyotes #FutureCoyotes #MiddleSchoolReady #SVUSD #WelcomeToJCMS #CoyotePride #GrowingUpFast

🌍 Earth Day Birdhouses: A Creative STEAM Project with 2nd and 4th Graders! 🐦🏠 In honor of Earth Day, our 2nd and 4th-grade students teamed up for a fun and environmentally-conscious STEAM project: creating birdhouses from recycled milk cartons! 🌱✨ Students took milk cartons from the cafeteria that would have been thrown away and transformed them into beautiful, functional homes for our feathered friends. They also got creative by using leftover art supplies and other materials, turning what might have been waste into something wonderful! This hands-on project not only allowed students to flex their artistic muscles, but also helped them understand the importance of recycling and sustainability. They learned that even the smallest materials can have a big impact on the planet! And to top off their Earth Day celebration, they enjoyed a fun treat: "dirt" cups with Oreos and gummy worms! 🍪🪱 A sweet ending to a day full of creativity and learning! A huge shoutout to all the students for their hard work, creativity, and dedication to making the Earth a little greener. 🌍💚 #EarthDay #Sustainability #Recycling #STEAM #CreativeLearning #Birdhouses #EcoFriendly #HandsOnLearning #RecycledArt #SweetTreats

🌟 Staff Highlight for April: Mrs. Gracious Davenport 🌟 Meet Mrs. Davenport, our incredible 7th & 8th grade science teacher at JCMS! This is her first year as a Coyote and her eighth year in education, but she’s already made a lasting impact. 💙 Gracious Grace Davenport lives up to her name—she’s passionate, warm-hearted, and full of laughter. Her belief in the potential of every student drives her mission to build a safe, supportive, and inspiring classroom. 🔬✨ Originally from Florida, Mrs. Davenport moved to Sierra Vista with her husband, mom, and kids after her brother was stationed here with the Border Patrol. Her husband—who she met working at a middle school—is now one of our amazing custodians! Together, they’re raising three little ones (ages 6, 5, and 1) and loving life in the SV community. 🏡👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Before becoming a teacher, Mrs. Davenport worked in daycare and was active in church youth programs. One special moment with a teen in her youth group encouraged her to pursue middle school education—and we’re so glad she did! From stepping in as support for a sub while still waiting for her AZ certification to creating fun traditions like Student of the Week (complete with favorite snacks!), she’s all heart. 💫 She says, “People make people, not money,” and we couldn’t agree more. Welcome to the Coyote family, Mrs. Davenport—you’re making a difference every day! 🐾💛 #JCMSCoyotes #StaffHighlight #ThankATeacher #ScienceMatters #CoyotePride #StaffHighlight

🦉🔬 Future Scientists at Work! 🔬🦉 Our amazing Town and Country 5th graders transformed into young scientists during an exciting hands-on science lesson! 🧪🦴 With gloves on and tweezers in hand, they explored the world of food chains and animal biology through owl pellet dissection. Students carefully examined real owl pellets to uncover tiny bones—skulls, jaws, and more—learning all about what owls eat and how they contribute to the ecosystem. 🌿 It was a day full of curiosity, discovery, and hands-on learning! Way to go, Roadrunners—and shoutout to their awesome teachers and families for making science come alive! 💚 #ScienceRocks #RoadrunnerPride #OwlPellets #STEMLearning #SVUSD #TownAndCountryElementary

🌟 April Teacher Feature – Mr. Austin Meckler! 🌟 Let’s give a big shoutout to Mr. Meckler, our awesome Tech Foundations and Yearbook teacher at JCMS! 🎉 This is his third year as a proud member of the JCMS team—he spent two years teaching Social Studies and now brings his creativity and real-world focus to CTE (Career & Technical Education). Mr. Meckler loves helping students explore life skills through hands-on projects—like his popular budgeting simulation, where students choose a city to live in, find housing and transportation, write checks, and see what it really takes to manage a budget. The surprise on their faces? Priceless. 💸 Outside the classroom, Mr. Meckler leads the charge on PBIS Tier One and brings the fun with school-wide events like Rock-Paper-Scissors tournaments, Simon Says showdowns, and Tic-Tac-Toe competitions—with awesome student engagement and prizes that build community and school spirit! 🏆🎉 He's also a martial arts enthusiast (since the age of 4!), gamer, our former wrestling coach, and proud husband and dad. He’s currently earning his master’s degree in education and is passionate about creating a classroom based on mutual respect and strong relationships. Thank you, Mr. Meckler, for the energy, heart, and creativity you bring to JCMS! You make a difference every day! 💙💻🙌 #TeacherFeature #JCMSPride #SVUSDProud #CTEChampion #PBISLeader #MiddleSchoolMatters #ThankATeacher
