Membership Meeting
Thank you for participating in our membership meetings for the 2018-2019 school year. We appreciate our families taking the time to learn more about the JHS PTSA, hear school updates from Principal Peters, review financials, check progress on our PTSA goals, and listen to committee reports (volunteers, staff appreciation, humanitarian, etc.).
THANK YOU!

Angst Summary

Picture
We had a great turnout at the JHS PTSA event on Monday night. Thank you for coming to watch the film Angst: Raising Awareness Around Anxiety. Anxiety affects our students in many different ways and hopefully you found the film to be a positive and powerful message for students, families, and staff. Let's continue the discussion, share resources and find ways to help.

If you or someone you know is feeling anxiety it's important to tell a family member, friend, teacher or counselor. Reach out to someone who can help, and in an emergency call 911, or text the Crisis text line 741741.
