Practice Cancelled on 9/30/2011
Practice will be cancelled since the Jordan Middle School will be shut down tomorrow. With the unexpected cancelations the past few weeks we run the risk of quickly falling behind. To mitigate that the 9/30 practice will be rescheduled for Monday 10/3 immediately after school. Friday’s practice for 10/7 will continue as scheduled.
Practice 9/23 Cancelled
Practice today, 9/23, will be canceled due to the half day of school.
JET Meeting for 9/2/2011 postponed until 9/6/2011
I was very excited about kicking off the season this afternoon but after careful consideration I am canceling the JET meeting scheduled for after school today on 9/2/2011 and rescheduling it for Tuesday 9/6/2011 immediately following the release of school. This will let kids that get out of school early not worry about getting back to school. Please pass this along to anyone you know or casually talk to. Thank you for you understanding.
The meeting will just be a short introductory discussion about the new season challenge along with goals and expectations and team member responsibilities. The usual first day administrative stuff. I am planning on this lasting less then an hour and parents are welcome.

JET Center for Technology opens in August 2011
JET will have their own dedicated room and it should be finished and ready to use for the upcoming 2011 Food Factor Season. This is great news as the success of our past teams has sparked great interest and we are expanding to two teams for next year. The room will be the perfect place for a team learning about engineering and technology to gather and excel. It will also be a showcase for both the team and the school giving us the capability to demonstrate to visitors and other schools our desire to cultivate young students that will be at the top of their game.
