June 7th will be the last day of school this year! We are so excited to see this day come after a very difficult year for all! Thank you to our students, teachers and parents for struggling through the year with us. Although it was a tough year, it was nice to watch the resilience of our students come through. Many of them were able to make the best of a difficult situation, and we believe many life lessons were learned. Have a great summer Mavericks! We will see you back here at JMHS on August 23rd.
Several students at James Monroe High School elected to participate in a three-day camp titled "Empower Your Future - Career Readiness" June 1st - June 3rd. Throughout the camp, Danielle Richmond, NUSkool Scholars CEO Specialist, worked with the students on budgeting, building self-confidence, communication skills, job application completion and resume building. Students were granted this opportunity through partnership between James Monroe High School and the WV Division of Rehabilitation Services. NUSkool Scholars is a DRS community rehabilitation provider. For more information about the programs offered by the WV Division of Rehabilitation Services, you may visit https://wvdrs.org/.
Hey, students — let the more than 1.2 million readers of Cooperative Living know what you’ve learned about the value of careers in energy. Our #PowerfulCareers campaign is sponsoring an essay contest to explore and explain why energy-related professions are important. It’s open to schoolchildren whose parents or guardians are members of electric cooperatives or subscribers to Cooperative Living magazine.
Essays will be accepted starting March 1 and ending Sept. 1 through our submission form at vmdaec.com/powerfulcareers. No mail-ins will be accepted. Essays should focus on one career opportunity in the energy field. Explain what the job is, what it entails, why it matters and how it relates to the energy business. Be imaginative in your research! Reach out to your local electric cooperative. Use trusted sources like the Center for Energy Workforce, the U.S. Department of Energy, and major print or magazine media. (Wikipedia is not a source!) We have two categories: grades 7-9 should submit essays of 500 to 750 words. Grades 10 and above should submit essays of 800-1,200 words. Essays will be judged by the staff of the Virginia, Maryland & Delaware Association of Electric Cooperatives based on originality, grammar, creativity and understanding of the subject matter.
