What is Spiritual Emphasis Week?
Spiritual Emphasis Week is a week-long exercise in spiritual growth. It is our prayer that during these five days, the staff and students of JCS will build community, connect and grow with our Lord and each other, and deepen our faith commitment.
We started off the week with an all school chapel on Monday, and Tuesday we had presentations from Jan Merz about "filling a bucket". Each class will be doing various other activities related to "Bucket Filling." Be sure to ask your students what they learned! We will close the week with another all school chapel on Friday at 9:55am. Parents are welcome to join us for the chapel, however please remember that masks are required and also use the gym entrance where the doors will be open beginning at 9:45am.

School pictures are taking place today (Wednesday) and tomorrow (Thursday). Please check your teacher's newsletter for details as to your child's scheduled day and time.
Only one order form is needed per family now. Order forms were sent home with your youngest child. If you do not have a form, you can pick one up in the school office, or print it here. Please view your child's pictures online as soon as possible to determine if you will need retakes. Instructions for doing so are on the order form. (Go to huttengaphoto.shootproof.com to view your pictures. The access code is "jcs8277".) RETAKES ARE NEXT FRIDAY - OCT 8. Please notify Karen Huttenga by email no later than Oct 6, if you need retakes. Orders are due Tuesday Oct 12. Starting this year, you will now be able to place your order online instead of on paper if you would rather. If you have any questions, contact Karen Huttenga at khuttenga@sbcglobal.net or text 293-6877.

Parents/Guardians- Do you have a free lunch break once or twice a month? We would love to have you hang out on the playground and assist the awesome teachers and staff of JCS! The recess "supervisor" watches the kids play and is an extra set of hands for the teachers. It is also a fun way to interact with your kids while they are at school. If you need volunteer points, this is a great way to get them, but we can use your help even if you don't need points. The sign up genius link is below and if you have any questions, please email mary.zeilstra@gmail.com.
