Dear JCS Families,
The new school year is just around the corner and we are very excited to welcome both our new and returning students to our East and West Campuses! We can't wait to see what God has in store for this year for our students, faculty and staff as we witness His amazing grace and the plan and purpose He has for each and every member of the JCS family.
2019 Back to School Bash
To celebrate a brand new year at Jupiter Christian School, the JCS Advancement Team is thrilled to announce a Back to School Bash, sponsored by the Booster Club, on Tuesday, August 13th from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. at the West Campus Courtyard. Beginning on Monday, August 12th, our Lower School parents will attend the Lower School Parent Orientation at 6 p.m. in the West Campus Gym. Then on Tuesday, August 13th, the day begins with an East Campus Open House from 9-11 a.m. followed by the Grace Team's Used Uniform Sale on our West Campus opening at 11 a.m.
At that time, the Back to School Bash will begin in the courtyard, where families will have the opportunity to fellowship while enjoying FREE pizza, chicken salad, and Kona Ice along with a bounce house and fun games including corn hole and putt putt. The festivities will continue through 3 p.m. as parents and students attend Lower School Open House and Upper School students drop off supplies to their lockers.
At 3 p.m. in the Media Center, our new JCS families with students in grades 7-12 are invited to attend the New Student Meet & Greet and receive a special treat. The Upper School New Student Orientation will follow at 4 p.m. JCS Grace Team Ambassadors - Help Us Spread Kindness Like Confetti!
Our JCS Grace Team is made up of parent ambassadors with a mission to fill our campuses with a welcoming, positive spirit that lets our families know they belong, they are cherished, and they are a part of the JCS family. For the Grace Team, GRACE stands for Give, Rejoice, Appreciate, Celebrate and Encourage, and our parent ambassadors prayerfully keep these directives in mind as they seek to be the hands and feet of Jesus to our school. Thessalonians 5:11 tells us to "Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing." With God's wonderful grace-filled plan in mind, our team members strive to create an atmosphere in our school where we build each other up, celebrate each person's unique gifts and talents, offer support in times of need and love each and every student, parent, teacher, and visitor at Jupiter Christian as Christ loves us.
Throughout the school year the Grace Team hosts used uniform sales, parent fellowship meetings, honor roll breakfasts, and our faculty and staff appreciation week. Our parent ambassadors also partner with Charlie Hubbard (Director of Spiritual Life) to make care calls when someone in our JCS community needs help or extra encouragement. If you would like to be a part of the Grace Team and share that Jupiter Christian joy with our community, please contact our JCS Outreach Director Chelsea Gunn.
I pray that you and your family enjoy these last few weeks of summer as you continue to make wonderful memories together and I look forward to seeing you soon on campus!
Blessings,
Darlaine Sisk Chief Advancement Officer |
