Our 8th Graders have enjoyed Owl-mazing experiences together in their classes, at field trips and during after-school events throughout their time at John McCandless. Yesterday, we recognized the leadership and commitment to hard work they have brought to this campus while celebrating the bright future ahead of them. We appreciate all the supportive families who gathered for our 8th Grade Promotion, and we're excited to see how our Class of 2026 will succeed in high school and beyond!

Congratulations to our future 1st Graders on completing Kindergarten!

Plants spread their seeds all around us to keep wildlife growing in our environment. Today, a generous visitor from the World of Wonders Science Museum visited JMC to show 2nd Graders how seed dispersal works. Our students used paper cups and balloons to create a tool that could shoot plant seeds into soil similarly to many of the flowers we see outside!
