- I am a student at JBMS, and I think that my school is the best!!!! I mean when you start 6th grade and you go through the years, you have more fun. Our princapals are awesome too. They have th nicest teachers. When you walk through your classroom door and see the teacher, you may think "Man he/she looks really mean." But the truth is they all treat you the same and that is the nice way. And the new friends that you make is outrageous, there are so many kids that you will meet. If your a new student and your scared to walk through the doors of JMBS? Don't be. I did it too, there is always someone there to greet you.I love all the teachers and staff and always will!!!!! I LOVE JBMS!!!!
