East Jay's Bookfair Starts Today!
Today, students had the opportunity to hear from J&M Manufacturing, a nearby family-owned company. Representatives Alex and Conner shared about the modern farm equipment they design and build, their use of robotics and laser technology, and the important role they play in supporting farmers. Students also learned about the many different jobs that help make it all possible.
Thank you, J&M Manufacturing, for giving our students a closer look at the work you do!

Recently, Mr. Jutte invited special guest Mr. Trent Paxson, Assistant Superintendent of Jay Schools, to speak with students about his career journey and the path that led him to his role today. He shared stories about living on a farm, his time as an FFA member at Jay County High School (and YES, the jacket still fits! 😄), his college years at Purdue University, and his return to teach at Jay County High School before moving into school administration.
Thank you, Mr. Paxson, for taking time to inspire our students!

Our East Jay 6th graders had a fun and memorable day at the 60th Annual Tri-State Antique Gas Engine & Tractor Show. With an interactive worksheet in hand, they divided into small groups and set out on a scavenger hunt—finding vendors or exhibitors from five different states, tracking down the 2025 feature tractor and engine, and getting a real feel for the history and pride behind our world-famous community event.
Join us this Friday for a tailgate before the 🏈Jay County Patriots 🏈take on the Blackford Bruins!
Bring the whole family—there will be live music, food, and games. Don’t miss the fun!
