💚 FRYSC Appreciation Week Spotlight: Lynn Byers 💚
This week we are shining the brightest Jaguar spotlight on Lynn Byers, the heart and hands behind our FRYSC! 🐾💙💚
Lynn works tirelessly behind the scenes (and in front of them!) to make sure our students and families have what they need to thrive — whether that’s connecting families to resources, organizing support, celebrating milestones, or stepping in quietly when someone needs a little extra care.
Her compassion, organization, and servant leadership make a lasting impact on our entire school community. She doesn’t just support families — she builds relationships, removes barriers, and makes sure every child feels seen and supported.
Lynn, thank you for being such a steady, giving, and powerful presence for our students and families. We are so grateful for you and the way you help our Jaguars roar a little louder every day! 🐆✨ #proudtoroar

Mrs. Jones supports our Jaguars in ways that often happen quietly behind the scenes, but the impact is BIG. She helps students navigate hard days, big feelings, and challenging moments with compassion, patience, and care.
Her heart for kids is evident in every conversation, every check-in, and every extra step she takes to make sure students feel supported and valued. Because of her, our building is stronger, kinder, and more connected.
Mrs. Jones, thank you for being such an important part of our Jaguar family. We are so grateful for the light you bring to our students and staff every single day. 💙

With all these snow days, AMs turning into PMs, and everyone asking, “Wait… what day IS it?” — one thing we always know for sure is that Mrs. White is exactly where she needs to be for our students. 💚💙
She is incredibly giving, endlessly loving, and a true bright light in our building. Our students know they are seen, heard, and cared for because of her. And even if we lose track of the clock, she never loses track of what matters most — our kids.

Monday, February 2, will be a snow day for JCS.
Despite the amazing efforts of our custodial, maintenance, and transportation crews this past week & weekend, the efforts of hard working snow removal companies that assisted in clearing lots, and a WHOLE lot of hope - we are, unfortunately, not able to return to school today! Many roads and sidewalks are still covered in snow and ice. Today is a snow day and will be made up at the end of the school year.
We are hopeful that with slightly warmer temps and sunshine tomorrow, we may see improvement.
Coaches & sponsors will be in communication with students about events and activities.
