Middle Level Student Leadership Conference

We are proud to share that a group of our Grade 8 student leaders attended the State Wide Middle School Student Leadership Conference: Making Acceptance Acceptable on Friday, January 16.

This impactful event is designed to empower student leaders from across Connecticut to foster positive change within their school communities.

Throughout the day, our students participated in hands-on workshops focused on:

Building a Climate of Acceptance: Fostering inclusivity for all students.
Making a Difference at School: Actionable steps to improve school spirit and culture.
Taking Risks & Rising to the Occasion: Developing courage and leadership resilience.
Positive Social Networking: Navigating digital spaces with integrity.

A huge thank you to Mr. Klatt and Mrs. Pinho for their dedication in advising our students and supporting their growth as leaders!

Rain couldn’t stop the fun JWMS Ski & Snowboard Club had on the first trip of the season! We even had a lost tooth! Looking forward to 4 more exciting weeks!
