Students in the Jackson-Madison County School System are enjoying their last days of summer as the new school year kicks off on Monday, August 7th. However, many of our school and department leaders have already returned to make sure the first semester of school is a success - that includes our food service team. JMCSS Director of School Nutrition, David Wicker has exciting details about new menu options coming to a school cafeteria near you.

JMCSS is preparing to host, for the first time ever, a district-wide student art show and silent action. We’ll visit with Christy Hays, our districtwide fine arts coordinator to find out how our students are preparing for the big event. Also, the 6th Annual International Festival is coming up. Stephane Williams, ESL Lead Teacher with JMCSS is here to share info on that.

Plus we’ll spotlight several student programs, from Biostem to Pharmacy Technicians, and Academic Pentathlon.
