Brinton Porter

Mr. Bap gets it. He understands the role and impact that he can have on a child. He has built lifelong relationships with students because he shows how much he cares for them. He has been the most significant male adult role model in many of his students’ lives. Mr. Bap is part of the JMS family. Not only does he guide, support, and parent students on his bus, but he gets involved in activities like long lunches and school dances. I appreciate Mr. Bap on campus because he helps create a state of calm. I have also gotten to know him over the years, and he is an incredible human being. We are fortunate to have Mr. Bap driving our buses and, most importantly, as part of our community. Good on you, mate!

This year there we have required Narren to move large tables, desks, furniture and supplies. Last week we removed many items to free up significant storage space issues at JMS. All of these jobs were large tasks. As always, Narren was a great support. Narren's practical, positive attitude and ideas are always appreciated. He is great to work with.

Rob Dinnel

First impressions make a difference. One of the first things that families and community members see when coming to school are the grounds. When our families and community members turn up to school, and see the grass is mowed and the plants, shrubs and trees are trimmed, it tells them that there is pride in the school. I appreciate the work that Rob Dinnel does to make sure the grounds are neat and tidy. From the coldest day to the heat at the beginning and start of the school year, you will see Rob Dinnel out there working hard to make our schools look great. Thank you Rob for your many years of service to our district.
