Good evening Comet families! I’m reaching out to you tonight to give you a quick update on a couple of things.
We received one bid for the FFA barn but it was beyond our budget so we are working on soliciting more bids. My hope is that we will be able to get a couple more bids and vote on the construction piece at the board meeting on the 27th. We have already purchased the materials so it will be ready to go. Between the groundwork, surveys, architects, and materials we have spent over 80% of the grant money for the project so we are in good shape. I do apologize for it taking so long.
The second item to update you on is what to do with the old track. The board discussed this at our study session this week and they decided to just wait a while before making a decision. We know the community enjoys using the track.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Go Comets!
Here are some professional update photos provided to us by Elite. Go Comets!
Our third grade Comet Cruisers are all geared up for their run tomorrow! Good luck to all of the runners!
Where Fun Meets Learning!
On Wednesday, the fifth grade students from Williams Elementary STEM class enjoyed gathering at the banks of the St. Joseph River to race their small, handcrafted boats. In collaborative groups of three, students designed and created either a paddle boat or sailboat using a “hands-on” approach of the Engineering Design Process. After each class raced in separate heats, finalists were announced and will race again during Riverfest this coming Saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. Don’t miss the action and join us!
Congratulations to Mrs. Bolz-Sweebe's 4th grade class for winning the reading contest!
Dear Reading Contest Participants,
Thank you again to every class that participated in our district wide reading contest. I was impressed by the effort each school and student put into the competition!
I am excited to announce the top three classrooms reading greatest number of pages during the month of March. Please join me in congratulating the following classrooms:
1st Place
Kimberly Bolz-Sweebe’s class from Williams Elementary in Jonesville read 66,232
2nd Place
Christy Knapp’s class from Monroe Catholic Elementary Schools-St. Mary Campus read 56,711 pages.
3rd Place
Alyssa Gonzalez’s class from Saint Charles Borromeo Catholic Academy in Newport read 44,304 pages.
This year over 340 students from 17 classrooms participated in the contest, reading over 350,000 pages!
My hope from this reading contest was to create a program that promoted reading in and outside of the classroom. Looking at the number of pages read by each classroom during the month of March shows we were successful in our effort. Thanks again for your participation. I look forward to continuing our work together to promote reading in our community. Winners please keep a lookout for an email from my office for your pizza party.
Sincerely,
Senator Joe Bellino
The 16th District

Please be sure to grab your flowers next Thursday!
Good afternoon Comet families. I wanted to let you know that bus 6 was involved in an accident today. No one was injured but they are going to switch out the bus. The replacement bus is on the way right now. However, as a result, bus 6 students will be a little late to their usual drop off times. Have a good evening.
Here is your weekly athletic complex project update!
Reminder that the due date for the RFP bid for construction of the FFA barn is tomorrow, May 2nd by 3:00 p.m. Interested parties should go to Jonesvilleschools.org. From there, click on "menu" at the top. This will take you to another screen that will have choices that include, "documents". Click on that and the RFP documents for the FFA barn are at the bottom. There are two separate bids. One is for the concrete and the other is for the construction. We already have the materials. Go Comets!
What a difference a couple of days make! The first images are from Tuesday and the other two are from Friday. Go Comets!
Join us on Thursday night for Math and Science night!
Good evening Comet families. I wanted to make you aware of a situation that occurred earlier today. There was a chase involving the police and the suspect dumped the car next to the high school. The police did a sweep of the inside of the high school and found no one. In an abundance of caution, they will be there tomorrow morning as well. We want to thank the police department for their efforts in keeping our schools safe. Have a good evening.
Stop by and see Mrs. Smith for more information on the First Lego Robotics Team this Thursday at Math and Science night!
