Battle of the Books

Students form teams and read the 20 selected books for the competition.  Throughout the program, students practice answering questions related to each book.  Teams answering the most questions correctly during timed competitions earn a chance to complete at the state level.  All "battles" take place at JMS, so there is no need to travel anywhere else.

Advisors: Mr. Allie and Ms. Ditlefsen

Investors' Club

Students have the opportunity to participate in a state-wide stock market simulation sponsored by Economics Wisconsin. Students work as a team buying and selling stocks in order to have the highest portfolio value over a 10 week period. The top performing team in each division will receive recognition and prizes!  Students can participate in the fall competition (October-December), spring competition (late February - April) or both!

AdvisorMr. Utrie   

Fantasy Football

Students manage their virtual NFL football team to score as many points possible to win weekly prizes.  This club is almost exclusively online; it only meets once during the second week of September for the draft and continues online until the end of December.

 Math 24

Math 24 is a math game that uses a set of cards with four numbers on each.  Players use all four numbers and mathematics to solve each card with an answer that equals 24.  The cards have different themes and vary in difficulty. Students participate regionally in a tournament sponsored by UW-Whitewater.  Students meet at lunch and some students work on it during WIN time.

Advisor: Mr. Altermatt

 

Memory Book

Students work with a teacher advisor to plan the Memory Book for the school.  This involves page layout, pictures and general organization. The club meets after school in April.

Advisor: Mrs. Flatt   

 

Southern Lakes Anthology

UW-Whitewater TAG sponsors this opportunity for students to participate in a writing competition involving poetry, prose or illustrated writing.  An anthology is created each spring of the strongest entries. 

Advisors: Mrs. Lemminger

 

Drama Club

This club is for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students interested in performing or being a part of the technical crew for our annual school musical.  Students will sing, dance, act, sew costumes, paint set pieces, set up lighting and audio cues, and learn what it takes to put on a large-scale production in just a few short months!  Auditions occur in late October and rehearsals run after school from November through January. The final performances are typically held late January.

AdvisorsMrs. Dresdow and Mrs. Perkins

 

Stained Glass and Art Clubs

This is available to all JMS students.  We will begin meeting late October and will run until mid May.  We will meet on Tuesdays after school until 4 in the Art Room.  We will be experimenting/designing/creating with a variety of materials, like felt, metal, and glass, that are not used normally during the school year.
