If you drove by the front parking lot of the JSH today, you noticed a large semi tractor and trailer parked out front. Schools to Tools was on campus and connected with 175 students today. Students were exposed to hands on and virtual displays of trade jobs, with a focus on millwright and carpentry. These professionals from the industry were fantastic with our students and staff. We are grateful for this opportunity to expose our students to careers in the trades.

Friday is going to change to 3-Meat Subs, Fruit and Veggies and we will be adding a Bag of Chips. Lunches may change for the next week or so depending on the ETA of the freezer getting fixed.

JSH Administration
SCS Community: We have been incredibly blessed with a tremendous amount of support from our community and neighboring communities. Counseling support offers have been pouring in from area schools and counseling providers along with food and drink donations from our local businesses.
Parents, thank you for your flexibility and support; we couldn't get through days like today without you. There were a lot of decisions to be made over the weekend and a lot of unknowns at the time. We graciously appreciate that you supported us with making sure the needs of our students were put first.
Your SCS Administration and Staff are honored to work in this community and serve your students.
