Happy Thanksgiving from our ECSE classroom!

This year, Toys for Tots is not taking place in Ionia County. A local group, Holiday Hearts of Ionia County, has stepped in to help kids in our community so that they can still receive presents during this season. We are a location for Holiday Hearts of Ionia County. If your family is able to donate to help kids in Ionia County receive presents, please consider dropping off a contribution in our box.

For families experiencing financial strain, below is a list of food pantries in the area.

Happy Thanksgiving !! There will be no school November 26, 27, and 28.

Today, students who earned enough HEART tickets had some fun decorating sugar cookies!

The JSH office will be closing at 3:00 PM on Friday, November 14th. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Congratulations to all our Veterans
