Thank you again TerraLoco for organizing a drive to collect high-quality running shoes for our student-athletes in need.

Rochester Public Schools wouldn't be the same without the dedicated, compassionate, and hardworking individuals who make a difference every day, whether they're teaching in classrooms, supporting students, or keeping our schools running smoothly behind the scenes.
As a small gesture of gratitude, we invite you to share a few words of encouragement with a staff member who has made a positive impact on you or your student(s). Your message can go a long way in brightening someone's day and reminding them just how appreciated they are.

Bag of trash? Definitely not! This is a big bundle of high quality, gently used, running shoes collected by TerraLoco for our athletic programs at JM. Many of our student-athletes are unable to access appropriate and safe footwear to participate. We are SO appreciative of partners like TerraLoco & the Rochester Running Club.

We had TOO much FUN hosting our friends from Gage's Newcomer Program today ... bubbles, laughter, hulu hoops and more. They were so impressed by the size of JM, the mural, the fields, the floral class and Mr. Glandon's math class (they want him for a teacher some day!).









The JM Relay for Life Committee was hard at work this morning planning for the May 10 event.
