Yesterday, representatives of A Better Life–Brianna's Hope came to Jay County Jr.-Sr. High to share their stories of addiction and recovery. We hope that hearing these poignant accounts will give our students a better understanding of the destructive nature of substance abuse so that they will make positive, informed choices for their futures.
We would like to offer our sincere thanks to Randy Davis and the speakers who accompanied him. Your willingness to share your journeys as we work together to help our students live their best lives is very much appreciated.

Doesn't this look like a fun way to learn?! Students in Mr. Tonner's Principles of Exercise Science course are learning the lower leg muscles by drawing the muscles on each others' legs.
Prior to winter break, Mr. Bilbrey held auditions and the first read-through for the spring play--If a Woodchuck Could Chuck Wood. Stay tuned as we inch closer to spring for date, time, and ticket information.
Students in Mrs. Shrack's Life Skills program, along with their classroom aides and peer helpers, experienced several enrichment opportunities last semester. These photos depict a trip to the Portland Fire Department to learn about fire prevention and safety and a trip to BSU's planetarium. Stay tuned for more adventures!

Happy Holidays!
In a heartwarming display of holiday spirit, the 8th Grade Honor Society has taken the initiative to share Christmas love with local military servicemen and women, as well as nursing home residents. As part of their effort, all students contributed by adding personal touches to Christmas cards, making each one uniquely meaningful. On Saturday, the Honor Society's officers took their project a step further by delivering these cards in person to residents of Persimmon Ridge nursing home, along with a special gift. The delivery was led by society president Kendall Schemenaur, vice-president Grady Warvel, secretary Connor Stultz, and treasurer Spencer Smitley. Their visit brought smiles and holiday cheer to the residents, showcasing the students’ dedication to spreading joy during the season of giving.
This thoughtful gesture not only brightened the day of the recipients but also served as a reminder of the importance of connecting with and appreciating members of the community.

Earlier this week our freshman Early College students visited Huntington University for a campus visit and information session. Twenty-eight students participated and were chaperoned by Mrs. Cathy Fugiett. It seems they enjoyed eating lunch in a college dining hall the most! Many of these same students also visited Purdue Fort Wayne on Tuesday, Nov. 19, along with our junior and senior Early College students who elected to go.
Join us at the pool!
Mrs. Dillon’s and Mrs. Emmons’s math classes have been working with percentages. Recently, students were paired to complete a place setting. Groups were given a variety of online menus to choose from to go “out to eat.” They each received a random discount, had to add tax, and had to tip 20%. Students had $25 per group member to spend and the group that came closest without going over won a small prize.
