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.
