Happy New Year, praying mamas of Jonesboro!
I just wanted to take a minute to point out how incredible God has made our first term of the year. I am so thankful for all of you praying for our community, our school, our staff, and our students. I am also so thankful for the support that is always shown and given.
For this new year and term, I have asked God what is we need to pray for as mountain moving, Satan scaring mamas. His response, unity, cooperation, and peace. Unity for our students, staff, and community to remain strong together as a family. Cooperation (and grace), fore the times of state testing are upon us in this term, and it can cause major stress and frustration for teachers and students alike. Peace for our family unit as a whole. Meaning the community, staff, and students. As mentioned, this is the part of the year when things can become tense and overwhelming.
As the praying mamas of Jonesboro, we can counter all of this with the power of prayer, and by giving it all over to Jesus. These are our babies in this place, our friends, and the community we love. Let’s build them up in Jesus name, praying out all flu and multitudes of other ailments that threaten our babies health. Let’s pray for their teachers who teach them, before we criticize or accuse them. Let’s pray our school into a new year that is so remarkable the only thing people will be able to see is Jesus in us all.
I love you all and am so thrilled to praying together with you all! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

ATTENTION – Due to unknown circumstances there will be NO Jonesboro Alumni Association meeting on September 28, 2019. The Jonesboro ISD has no involvement in preparing or sending the Jonesboro Alumni Association Newsletter and has not received any word as to why the alumni meeting has been canceled. The Jonesboro ISD is in full support of the Jonesboro Alumni Association and loves hosting the Jonesboro Alumni Association Meeting annually. The Jonesboro ISD has a confident expectation that this is a one year hiatus and next year, or even later this year, the Jonesboro Alumni Association will band together and once again utilize the Jonesboro ISD facilities for future Jonesboro Alumni Association meetings or other events.
Sincerely,
Matt Dossey
Superintendent, Jonesboro ISD
