“PANTHER PALOOZA” for the Girls and Boys basketball teams, and our cheerleaders will take place Friday, November 18th from 6:00-8:30pm. It will model a midnight madness event which most college programs have to kick off the basketball season. The admission to this event is a nonperishable Thanksgiving food donation (canned goods, boxed goods etc.) that we will give to local churches and organizations such as the VFW post 3522 in Charles Town who offer free Thanksgiving dinners to the community. This event is open to the public. The Girls Basketball Team will provide Concessions. We will have 50/50 cash raffles throughout the event.
As we continue to celebrate our public school community for American Education Week, we're proud to recognize our JCS school leaders! We're so grateful for our principals who step up every day for their students and staff. Let's hear a shoutout for Ms. Reed!
