The
West Jones Cheerleaders, under the direction of Coach Debbie
Bender and Assistant Coach Janice McCullum, won their second MHSSA
5A Small State Championship in the Jackson Coliseum on Saturday,
December 19. The squad competed against 5-A squads from all
over the state. Having competed in the 4A division in years
past, the girls were a little nervous about exactly what their
competition would be, but they quickly learned that these 5A
squads were both skilled and talented.
After having placed third in 2006, winning in 2007, and tying for
second place in 2008, the girls worked even harder this year. They
practiced for two hours, four to five days each week.
Additionally, they attended LGA under the supervision of Ope
Coulter and Sara Jones. Vicente Monsavis and Jobiy Moss also from
LGA were instrumental in assisting in the preparing the girls for
the state competition.
Coach Bender commented, "The other squads were awesome, especially
Neshoba Central! I am so proud of my girls and their performance
this year. Today's championship was a fitting finale for all of
their hard work. I also want to thank the cheer parents, the
administration, faculty, and Touchdown Club for their support
throughout the year. Coach McCullum and I know that win or
lose, we always enjoy coaching these girls each year; but when we
clinch the top spot, it makes all the work all worthwhile!
Someone once said, 'To love what you do and feel that it
matters...how could anything be more fun?'"

"High Five Club"
At West Jones Middle School |
|
High Five Winners for Week of
Jan 25-29: |
|
 |
West Jones Middle
School administration and staff have designed the "High Five
Club" to encourage positive behavior among students. This
positive behavior intervention is a team based approach to
enforce positive behavior among the student body. Wade Clark,
middle school principal, Doreen Hill, middle school counselor,
and all the 7th and 8th grade teachers issue tickets to students
seen exhibiting desired behavior. Tickets are then deposited
into the "High Five" box for a
drawing each Friday. Two winning students are then awarded
prizes and their names are added to the "High Five Club" roster.
By using this unique technique, WJMS is moving from a culture
that is set up to catch students breaking rules to a culture
that is set up to catch students in positive behaviors.
The "High Five" Motto is:
1) Be Safe
2) Be Responsible
3) Be Respectful
4) Be Honest
5) Be Your Best
These characteristics are focused in
all school settings: classrooms, hallways, restrooms, cafeteria,
common areas, assemblies, and buses.
