JCS "Turtle Talk"

Week of October 5th

Hi JCS families,

This is our first full week in October and the weather is definitely changing! Students may want to start bringing a sweatshirt, sweater, or light jacket with them to school to wear during recess.

We also invite all students and staff to start wearing their JCS gear, something purple, or something with a turtle on it each Friday to celebrate as a school community! As always, this is completely optional.

Parks & Recreation Costume Exchange

The Norton Parks and Recreation Department is hosting a Halloween Costume exchange this Tuesday & Wednesday, October 7th & 8th from 6:00pm to 8:00pm in the New Town Hall Lobby. There is no charge to take a “new-to-you” costume and families don’t need to donate a costume to take one. This program is a way to recycle costumes that are usually used just once and to let them be used and loved again by a new child. Please see the flyer below for more details.
