Moving-on Dance Team (PTO): We need a team of families to help plan the 8th grade dance after the Moving-On ceremony. The group of parents work with our PTO to plan the dance for our scholars. We need volunteers for this team. The next PTO meeting will be March 13th at 6pm if you like to attend to start the planning process. March is a great time. If you want to be part of the team and can not make the 13th please email me your name and I will get it to the PTO.

 

JGW Basketball March Madness: As of right now do not have enough teams signed up at this point to hold March Madness. We have been reminding students at morning announcements but if families want to remind that would be great.  Students MUST have their Participation Sheet filled out and returned to Mrs. Hamel by next Wednesday~ money is not due until the last week of March. Get those forms in so we can hold this awesome event!

This is our annual basketball tournament for any scholar that wants to play, it also serves as a fundraiser for our PTO. If someone is interested in playing in our MARCH MADNESS tournament to be held at the end of March- please see Mrs. Hamel for a sign up sheet or sign up in the cafeteria during lunch.

Teams must have 5 players/ teams can be made up of any five students from any grade. Sign ups are $2.00 per player/ $10.00 per team- money is due the week before the tournament. Last year the North Carolina Tar Heels team won the tournament~ let’s see who’s the team to beat this year!
