Meet Marilyn Cuevas! In honor of Family Engagement Month, we're excited to highlight Marilyn, the Family and Community Engagement (FACE) representative for JM. Hailing from the City of Giants, Carolina, Puerto Rico, Marilyn has always felt at home near the beach, with a lifelong love for the sand and sea. She’s known for her sweet tooth, whether it’s a mid-winter Coca-Cola Icee or a Snickers bar! An adventurous spirit, Marilyn has lived in four different states, fearlessly embracing each new experience. Marilyn’s infectious laughter and warm spirit make her a perfect fit for family engagement, bringing joy to everyone around her—especially her husband and children, who know her laugh often steals the show! #Family #Engagement #Laugh #Marilyn #JM

JM is embracing a vibrant initiative aimed at brightening students' spirits and fostering an inclusive environment. In a project led by Student Support Specialist Tracy Young, the JM Student Ambassadors recently worked to collect colorful paint chips donated by Lowe’s and Walmart. The goal? To “Paint the School with Kindness.” This initiative encourages students to write positive affirmations on the paint chips and post them throughout the school’s hallways, transforming the building with messages of hope, kindness, and inspiration. Words like “You’ve got this,” “Stay strong,” and “Kindness is contagious” now greet students and staff each day.
