Halloween is anything but scary around the JCISD...
Employees at the Kratz Center treated Career Center pre-school children as they paraded around the building in their costumes with Halloween bags and student chaperones. Various departments got into the spirit and dressed up themselves: the Finance Dept. used a "numbers" theme, dressing up as dominoes; HR were "Charlie's Angels", with Cheryl Lemons playing the infamous "Bosley"; General Ed. came as the pop novel "50 Shades of Gray"; and Special Education were all the "Good Witches".
If you have photos you would like to share from your building, please email them to communications@jcisd.org. We'll include them with this post!
JCISD employees can help students who struggle buying proper clothing for senior photos, graduation, baccalaureate, etc., by checking through your closest for dress clothes you no longer wear. Michigan Center teacher/yearbook advisor/community newsletter editor Karen Van de Water is collecting old dress clothes for students to wear for their senior photos through graduation. For information, contact Karen at karen.vandewater@mccardinals.org
