Kindness Week kicks off this Friday, February 13th, and we can’t wait to see our school community come together in powerful ways! 💛
Our Focus: EMPATHY – “Walk in Someone Else’s Shoes” 👟
This week is all about slowing down, listening more closely, and truly trying to understand the experiences and feelings of those around us. When we practice empathy, we strengthen our relationships, build trust, and create a school where everyone feels seen and valued.
Each day, we will have a fun theme for everyone to participate in, giving our students and staff meaningful opportunities to practice kindness in action. Throughout the week, we will also recognize kindness in all facets of our lives — in our classrooms, hallways, teams, friendships, families, and community.
Up first - RIVALS WITH RESPECT! Focus on showing that kindness, respect, and connection are strengths—even in competition. #WEareJCS

We can’t celebrate National School Counseling Week without giving a huge shout-out to the incredible ladies who keep our Guidance Office running smoothly behind the scenes 💙
✨ Linda Burton, our registrar, and ✨ Courtney Pickerill, our guidance secretary, are truly the backbone of our department. From managing student records and grades to working their magic in Infinite Campus, they handle all the details that keep everything functioning properly.
If something runs smoothly, chances are Linda and Courtney made it happen. Their organization, patience, and dedication are the reason our counselors can do what they do best—support students every day.
We absolutely couldn’t do this work without them. Thank you, Linda and Courtney, for being amazing! 👏💙
