I would like to remind 5th-8th grade girls volleyball practice will begin August 15th at 3:30 pm in the little gym. Please dress in either shorts or leggings that can fit knee pads over them and tennis shoes or running shoes are preferred. If you have a water bottle that's awesome. If not, I will provide one. Any questions? Please feel free to email me at joea@jewellk12.org. I can't wait to see you there!

Good evening. Coach Beatty is hosting a HS FB camp August 8th-10th from 8-11 in the morning. All HS FB players are encouraged to attend. And due to construction, no access to the locker rooms is allowed as the old locker rooms no longer exist! Please plan accordingly.

Good afternoon, Jewell! CMH has sports physicals scheduled in Astoria at Astor Elementary school this week on Thursday & Friday from 9-4 pm. They will be closed between 12-1 for lunch. These are $25 per exam and are on a walk-in basis. A good chance to renew your physical if it is needed!

Good afternoon. I hope you have all had a nice summer break! MS and HS athletic registration for the upcoming school year will be open as of August 1st. Please be sure to visit FamilyID to register for all athletics. Blue Jay Pride, baby!
