Welcome Back and Happy New Year from your PTO!

We are over half way through the school year - time flies when you are having fun! And that is just one of our goals --- to make J.C. Booth a fun place for your students to learn, laugh, and make memories.

Our first semester at J.C. Booth was a success. Your PTO held monthly events for both students and staff! Our students especially enjoyed the Trivia events, the Halloween Dance and Dodgeball! Students with A's and B's were honored at the end of the first 9 weeks. We sold Spiritwear, Candy Cane Grams over the holidays, and TCBY yogurt each Friday!

Staff and Teachers were treated to a preplanning breakfast, an ice cream treat, a tailgating nacho bar, and a holiday luncheon and gift. Teachers are especially thankful for volunteers that help out each month for Duty Free Lunch!

Thanks to all our parents, community sponsors and volunteers that make these events happen!

From now until May, we have many plans! A Fun Friday painting event, a Color Run, and a Spring Dance are just a few things in the works. In addition, the 8th Grade Committee will be busy this spring getting ready to celebrate our rising Freshmen at our 8th Grade Celebration in May.

Join us each month on the second Wednesday at 9:30 am for a brief meeting to learn more and get involved.
