This week's Motivational Monday quote, handpicked by Ms. Michelle Young, is a gem from Brook Shields: "Don't waste a minute not being happy. If one window closes, run to the next window or break down a door."
Let's embrace this powerful reminder to seize every moment with joy and resilience! Whether faced with challenges or opportunities, let's keep pushing forward with positivity and determination! #MotivationalMonday #SeizeTheMoment #Resilience


Flashback Friday! Let's take a trip down memory lane and revisit some of the incredible moments DECA brought us this year! From District 18 Officer Training, where our officers were installed, engaged in leadership workshops, and had a blast with arcade games, to the unforgettable experience of competing, networking, and attending workshops at the international DECA competition in Anaheim, California - it's been a year to remember!
Let's not forget how they showed up to cheer on JM Basketball in Norfolk this year.
Congratulations to our DECA superstars on their phenomenal achievements! Keep shining bright! #DECAStars #FlashbackFriday #DECAExcellence #SupportingOthers

It's our very own Ms. Tracey Young. JM's so lucky to have her as she fills many important roles. She is a teacher, assistant athletic director and a listening ear to so many students. We are grateful to have someone who cares so much represent JM in school and at events.

It's Throwback Thursday! Can you guess who is the staff member in the photo?
This week it's our very own firecracker Nurse Assistant Christine Major-Mitchell.
Fun Facts about Ms. Major-Mitchell:
The first photo was taken in her 9th-grade year when she loved having a mullet haircut and the marching band football games.
The second photo was when she was 3 years old.
She's always loved going to the pool and going off the high dive.
