We want to thank Chad "Sticks" Johnson for his dedication to our percussion sections. His leadership is much appreciated by the "drummer parents."

I want to thank Overland Contracting for their donation of coats for the children on the Angel Tree. OCI has reached out multiple times to support our schools and we are grateful for their support.

We are all so thankful that Brandon Carpenter joined our staff. He has brought so much FUN to learning and the events at JMS.
