High Five Club

Students in Ms. Linda Simpson's fourth grade class at South Jones Elementary School have become active members of the "High Five Club".  After Ms. Simpson introduced Jones County's new district wide positive reinforcement discipline guidelines, her students created a wall illustrating the five areas (Be Safe, Be Responsible, Be Respectful, Be Honest, and Be Your Best).  Each student chose one of the areas to create a flyer listing/illustrating the five components.  Her students are working hard implementing the guidelines into their daily routines at school.



Sending Love From Home

Mrs. Darla Leggett's fourth grade class at South Jones Elementary is making boxes to send to soldiers in Iraq.  This box is going to Staff Sgt. Jeff Lott stationed in Iraq.  His son Evan Lott is a student in Mrs. Darla Leggett's class.  Staff Sgt. Jeff Lott showed his appreciation by sending an embroidered rug to the students.  Pictured from left to right are Kaitlyn Warden, Casey Yelverton, Britney Gray, Symone Barnes, Corey Fulford, Whaillen Adams, Rachel Zumwalt, Olivia Bryant, and Evan Lott.
