JCMS 6th Grade Family Night. Last night JCMS opened its doors for families to stroll the campus, familiarize themselves with locations and ask questions. The Coyote Band welcomed the families outside on their way to the library along with PTSO Volunteers. After a short introduction by Principal Wright the visitors got to explore on their own, and if there were any questions the student council was around to answer them. Thank you team Coyote for welcoming everyone!

6th Graders are getting a tour of JCMS. All 6th grade students in our district took a field trip to JCMS this week to get first hand experience of the middle school. After a warm welcome by the Coyote Band and a short play performed by the theater class, the students were split up into smaller groups. Under the guidance of JCMS student council, the 6th graders toured the campus and got some insider tips from the 8th graders. Questions were answered and 6th graders were able to witness a passing period between classes. This is one of the biggest changes students experience when moving on to middle school, and for some can be a little scary. Being able to watch for themselves can help ease that fear.
On May 4th from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm, JCMS is hosting a 6th Grade Family Night. The evening gives families a chance to tour the campus together. Thank you to everyone supporting these events!

Village Meadows is so proud of first grade teacher Mary Cangiolosi! Since day one, Ms. Cangiolosi helps develop little heroes who aren't afraid of failing or making a mistake but rise when faced with adversity. As student's enter the classroom they are met with superhero love and a fist bump, high five, or a hug. As the students transition to their seats their spidey senses begin to tingle eager to start their day because they have grown from saying, "I can't," to understanding the "why and what" they are learning for the day. Her leadership and the language she uses in how she speaks about students is the reason we will not just have one superhero rise from our school but ALL because our kids are our future, a superhero just waiting to be discovered.
Thank you Ms. Cangiolosi for being a superhero to our entire Wolfpack!
