TJMS Food Pantry

Many of you have heard that we have a Food Pantry Available to our families in need. Understanding that the government shut down has effected many people locally, we wanted to make everyone aware that we will have the food pantry open on the 2nd & 4th Saturday every month, from 9-11. Please contact Michaleh Snider (mcsnider@wsfcs.k12.nc.us), Mike McDowell (mmcdowell@ wsfcs.k12.nc.us), or Daniel Bryant (dpbryant@ wsfcs.k12.nc.us) if you need more information.

Give A Kid A Coat Campaign

Jefferson Middle School will kick off the Give A Kid A Coat Campaign next week.  The coat drive ends on February 9th.

Students, parents, and staff are requested to check their closet for coats they’ve out grown or no longer wear, and donate gently used coats to help children in need stay warm this winter. 

Baby coats are also needed.

The Salvation Army will pick up the coats and Cleaner World cleans the coats.

The Salvation Army distributes the coats to people in our community.

The homeroom that donates the most coats will receive a dessert party.

The first game is a Home Game for the Boys and an away game for the Girls on Thursday the 24th vs. Kernersville. It will be a Jersey Day/College Day for student spirit days AND Kona ice will be at the home game for purchase!

Fuel Up to Play 60 Update:

For the next two weeks the Fuel Up to Play 60 club is participating in a two-part event!

Part 1 is a Souper Bowl of Giving food drive! We are asking for families to send in non-perishable items for our Food Pantry! The Fuel Up to Play 60 club will plan a grade level incentive for whichever team brings in the most food.

Part 2 is a Highlighting Physical Activity google slides. We have a national campaign doing called “How do you fuel?”   All you have to do us upload pictures of your family being active or eating healthy and put TJMS - Winston Salem, NC on the slide. Our hope is to get it played DURING the super bowl!!

Please contact Mrs. Snider with any questions!
