I'd like to introduce you to our 2 PTSA student representatives. Juliana Davis and Gursimar Tonk. They are both juniors and will help represent the PTSA in student congress and hopefully help engage our JHS students to our PTSA work. Both girls attended the WSPTA convention and started learn more about the PTA mission.
It has been a pleasure serving as your president these past two very unique years. I am advancing my PTA leadership to serve as the WSPTA Program Director for the next two years.

PTSA Promotes JHS Businesses

Check out our new Directory of Businesses connected to Jackson High School here!

If you would like your business to be included, please send the business name and contact info and a short description of what services you provide to: JHSPTSApresident@gmail.com

When sending in your submission, please include how you are involved with JHS (i.e., name/grade of student if you are a parent). The JHS PTSA BOD will screen the submissions to verify that the business meets the accepted school content standards to be posted.

Staff Appreciation

Staff appreciation might look a little different this year, but we appreciate our staff now more than ever. We are not able to bring lunch to the staff each month, but we are still trying to spoil them a few times a month by dropping off baskets of snacks! Currently, about 50% of the staff are coming into school each day. If you’d like to make a donation of individually wrapped, store bought snacks for our staff please email our staff appreciation chair, Katie, jhsptsastafflunch@gmail.com. We have a small budget for this program, but with fundraising significantly lower this year, we are hopeful donations will keep the program running. Thank you for considering a donation, anything and everything is greatly appreciated.

Reflections

Congratulations to Alison Kim . Her photograph earned a 2nd place-Award of Merit at the state level of the contest.
