This morning, Jay County Jr-Sr High School held its 11th-annual Enlistee Breakfast for students entering the armed services after graduation this year.
Pictured in the center is Desirae Bonifield (Indiana National Guard) surrounded by her fellow JROTC cadets, instructors, and local veterans. The breakfast was served by the cadets, and the veterans shared about the service organizations that support troops once their service to our country is complete. Not pictured is Elizabeth Wendel (Indiana National Guard), who has already completed her basic training, and Mark Woodall (US Marine Corps), who graduated early and is currently completing basic training. Jay County Jr-Sr High School would like to thank these senior students for their commitment to serve our country as well as the veterans who have already made those sacrifices for us. We wish you the best of luck as you continue to pursue your goals and passions! Be safe!
Prior to state testing this spring, 8th-grade students took a well-earned break from their preparation to enjoy a snack and a good book. Enjoy the photos from Mrs. Price!
Recently, Mrs. Dillon's and Mrs. Kahlig's junior high advanced math classes collaborated to complete a scavenger hunt on transformations to wrap up their last textbook chapter. Great job, kids!
While the BPA (Business Professionals of America) club had a very successful year running their cafe and competing, they weren't so successful when they recently visited Escape Muncie. They were close to escaping--only one clue away--but ultimately, their efforts failed. All is well, though, because they had a great time having fun and spending time together!
Join us in wishing our amazing nurses a wonderful day!
Please join us in wishing all of Jay School Corporation's teachers a Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

Students in Mr. Keller's dual-credit Calculus class recently completed an activity requiring them to determine the volume of a hard-boiled egg by using displacement and calculus techniques from class. They also used graphing calculator technology to help represent the data. Great job, Mr. Keller and students!
Prior to Spring Break, several of our Spanish and foreign exchange students traveled to Ohio to view the Hispanic Flamenco Ballet. They were able to observe a variety of Spanish dances and hear different types of Spanish music. There was even an opportunity for students to go on stage and learn some moves! After the program, the group enjoyed a Mexican lunch.
We hope you will enjoy these additional photos from last month's eighth-grade visit to Washington D.C. These photos show the wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery. Students interested in laying the wreath were invited to participate in an essay contest. The students who earned the privilege this year based on their outstanding essays were Amara Crawford and Carson Westgerdes. Congratulations, to them. This was an amazing experience for all of the students in attendance.
Recently, a 2005 Jay County High School graduate was a guest speaker in our building. Registered Nurse Sarah Ullom spoke to Mrs. Price's junior high FACS class as a part of the careers unit. Ms. Ullom explained how she started as a student in Jean Anne Poole's Health Occupations Education class and is now in a nursing management role at IU Health Jay Hospital. She spoke about the various places a nurse can work, the types of nursing degrees, and what an ever-changing day in her shoes can look like.
Pictured are students being coached through a simulation of an in-air flight crew care team providing care to a critical patient. Thank you for taking the time to share about your career and the field of nursing, Sarah! It's always a good day to share in the Patriot Pride!
You've heard the saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Well, there's no risk of dullness around here!

Enjoy these photos from Tuesday's Student Council-sponsored Student vs. Teacher Night!
