Our Spirit Stick is GONE!


Well 8th grade our Spirit Stick has been taken by a very energetic bunch of 7th graders! This is a sad but true fact! I was on the gym floor and the 7th graders were indeed louder especially in the beginning! It is o.k. We will allow the 7th graders to enjoy their latest victory but the true measure of a class is how we respond after suffering our first Spirit Stick defeat. This will make us better and bring us closer as a class. The Holidays are fast approaching and we will have plenty of time to show our awesome 8th grade spirit!!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy your weekend!!!!

No More Ice Cream!

This past weekend I found out that the Kimberly Pharmacy will be closing their doors. This is sad because I have enjoyed many a milk-shakes with many students over the years. With no disrespect meant to other businesses, the Pharmacy had the best shake in town bar none!!!! It is like we are losing a piece of small town America cause the Pharmacy was a community gathering place for many. The staff was always friendly and had time to talk with you about anything! I will miss the Kimberly Pharmacy greatly!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Luck 8th grade on your testing! Go after it and make JRG proud! Don't forget to dress up next Tuesday for Veteran's Day as we honor all Veteran's who have made us proud to be an American!!!!!!!!!!
