Following their first full week back to school since the school closure last spring, the Maverick students were anxious to begin making an impact in the community. Their first project was to create cards for the residents at Stonerise Lindside. Pictured above are just a few of the students that participated.
Jadyn Bradley, Taylor Craft, Beau Wikle, Alex Thacker, Payton Miller, Layna Smith, Emily Bailey and Kaydence Weikle The James Monroe Mavericks celebrated its first full week back to school following the school closure in Spring of 2020 with weeklong spirit activities. Grade level classes competed against each other for the title of spirit week champions. Throughout the week, students dressed up for daily themes, brought in canned food, decorated classroom doors and hallways and finished up on Friday with a pep rally. The sophomore class won the spirit stick at the pep rally but the Class of 2021 was named the spirit week champions. Spirit week was a great reminder of how fun school can be in "normal" times.
