Jackson HS Jazz Band

Friday, February 15, I had the privilege of watching my son perform at the new River Campus with the Jackson High School Jazz Band. I am a proud mother, no doubt!

Mother's pride aside, I feel like Jackson R2 makes a great effort at helping students by exposure to such advantages as attending the Jazz Festival held by Southeast Missouri State University.

Of course, the bands are one of the things that make Jackson R2 standout. Thank you, Mr. Broussard.

Ice Storm

What comes to my mind when looking at the affects of the ice storm that hit our area on Monday, Febuary 12, is how little control we have when it comes to the forces of mother nature.

I have been without power or heat for most of the past 24 hours, and I am writing this from nearby Cape. The power may be on now at my home in Jackson, but I took precautions just the same. I'll retun tomorrow morning to check on things.

How did you fair?
