The John Muir PTC

Great News!  John Muir remains a K-8 magnet school!  Open enrollment has been extended through April 28th, 2011 (or beyond if necessary).  To stimulate enrollment and counter the effects of the unrealized budget cut proposal, parent and supporters of the JMS are asked to spread the word about enrollment opportunities especially in our 7-8th grade classes.  Additionally, public service announcements were made and beautiful open enrollment posters were handed out at the Middle School and posted around town.  Many thanks to the poster-making group!

COURTYARD BEAUTIFICATION days -  April 8 & 21st - GOOD WORK EVERYONE.

The JOHN MUIR BIRTHDAY BASH of April 22nd was a fantastic success.  No firm fund raising dollar amount yet, but unofficially we made our goal.  Whew!  In these tough times (any time really) WE THANK EVERYONE for their support.

The 5-8th Graders left for their COASTAL TRIP today.  HAVE FUN and remember to get some sleep - you too parents/teachers.  See you Thursday around 7 or 8 p.m.

The JMS garden crops (and weeds) are in full bloom.  See the garden section for a complete account of our activities.  NEXT WORK PARTY DAY - Thurs/Fri - MAY 5 & 6.

Be sure to COMPLETE a JMS SURVEY, if you haven't already.  These annual surveys provide critical feedback necessary to identify program support needs.  Of course all praise and constructive feedback is welcome.  BE PART OF POSITIVE CHANGE!  Email links to the survey site were sent twice and is available below.  Please notify Wendy or Elisa if you did not receive a email/link notification.

Please keep up the great (and really easy) support of Shop-n-Kart scrip.  NEW  Ashland Food Co-op Scrip. Like S&K, 5% of sales goes to the JMS.  Shop-n-Kart scrip is available in $10 increments.  Food Coop scrip is available in $50 gift cards. Scrip continues to be a core part of our on-going fund raising.  Consider buying extra over the next couple months to use during the summer.
