Mrs. Gates worked with some of her 6th grade scholars to enter an essay in the Arkansas Literacy Association’s writing competition. This competition was open to scholars all across the state of Arkansas. Two of her scholars placed in this state-wide writing event. It was announced that Season Dong won second place in the 6th/7th grader category & Iyanah Johnson won 3rd place in the 6th/7th grader category. These scholars, along with their families, plus Mrs. Gates were invited to attend a ceremony at Harding University on May 3rd to celebrate their success. Season and Iyanah read their essays aloud and received their awards. Both of these young ladies did a phenomenal job and represented Jacksonville Middle School well during their visit to Harding!

Parent Forum April 14
Hi Parents & Guardians,
The TFO is raising money in the form of a "Penny Wars"; and it's a competition among the grades. Each grade has a jug to put pennies & bills (1s, 5s, 10s, 20s) in to gain points. Silver coins in the other grade's jug will cause that grade to lose points. It's all in fun. Your scholars need your help! Please donate to your scholar's jug. The grade in the lead by specific dates during the Penny War will receive an incentive. The money raised goes to help fund extra fun things for the scholars and treats for the teachers and staff.
Thank you for you support,
TFO Board

8th Grade Scholars have been learning about the Holocaust in their ELA classes. Their essential question focused on how we can honor Holocaust victims/survivors. To end their unit, Mrs. Gates’ 8th Grade ELA scholars participated in a virtual Holocaust tour by using the latest VR technology at JMS. Scholars got a first hand look at several locations such as: Auschwitz, the Secret Annex where Anne Frank & her family hid, and much more.
