Quote of the Week - In Honor of the Last Day of American Indian Heritage Month

“There is but one secret to success: never give up.” – Ben Nighthorse Campbell

Ben Nighthorse Campbell (born April 13, 1933) is an American Cheyenne politician who represented Colorado's 3rd congressional district in the United States House of Representatives from 1987 to 1993, and as a United States Senator from Colorado from 1993 to 2005. He serves as one of forty-four members of the Council of Chiefs of the Northern Cheyenne Indian Tribe. During his time in office, he was the only Native American serving in the U.S. Congress. As of 2022, he remains the last Native American elected to the U.S. Senate.

Have You Taken the PTO Survey Yet?

Will YOU support TJMS as part of a PTO?

A PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) is being discussed at TJMS. It has been several years since our campus has had a chapter, and we believe now is the right time to bring it back.

What does a PTO do?

A parent teacher organization (PTO) gives parents and teachers the opportunity to work together to supplement and enrich the educational experience.

PTOs are valuable supports to schools, and there are a LOT of ways parents, family members, and members of the community can help to make the Jaguar experience better for our students and teachers.

Please CLICK HERE to complete a very short survey about a possible PTO here at TJMS.
