The scoop on scholarships and the FAFSA®

With the focus on how to finance continuing education during National Financial Aid Awareness month, seniors and families are encouraged to pursue scholarships. A scholarship is financial support awarded to a student based on academic achievement, need, or other criteria for the purpose of schooling. There are various types of scholarships and criteria that are determined by the awarding organization that also specifies how the money is to be applied.

Visit the JMHS Scholarships webpage for more tips on searching and applying for scholarships.

If you need service hours signed off, please bring a sheet for the organizer to sign off for the service hours you completed/worked.

Did you know Monday, January 20th is a National Day of Service to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. - his work as a civil rights leader, his life, and his legacy?

While MLK Day is a day off of school, help to make it ‘A Day On’ for service and volunteer to do something for your community. Dr. King said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”

JM’s Key Club is planning 2 outdoor service opportunities for JM students to serve on Jan. 20th. Volunteers will meet at the front of the school at 1pm on Jan. 20th and mulch trees with Tree Fredericksburg OR participate in a litter cleanup with Friends of the Rappahannock, and both will occur on JM’s campus. The event will end at 3pm.

NOTE: This event is not on a school day so transportation will not be provided for participants.

Students who are planning to volunteer at JM on MLK Day, please sign up in advance at the next Key Club meeting afterschool on Jan. 13th or email Nicole Lopez, Key Club Officer, at lopezns0607@cityschools.com. A permission slip is required for each student and will be available in the library starting on 1/13.

Every student who drives to school and parks on campus is required to purchase a parking permit for the student parking lot.

In order to obtain a bus pass for a different bus, the student must turn in a note to the front office before lunch. We must confirm the note to be able to give the student a pass.

Students are reminded that if you're not staying after school with a teacher, sponsor or coach, you must leave the building at dismissal.

This is a reminder that no outside food can be brought into or be delivered to the school. Students can bring food from home or enjoy provided daily meals without charge.

Any student who plans on taking the Behind the Wheel course this semester needs to email Mr Brown at debrown@cityschools.com and get registered. If you have already registered, you need to call and get a scheduled time to drive.

You are required to drive at least 3 days. Please include in your email a contact number so Mr Brown can schedule you.
