Jay County HS band performs Sunday

Jay County High School’s band department presents its spring concert this weekend.

The band will perform starting at 2 p.m. Sunday in the auditorium at Jay County Junior-Senior High School. Patrons may enter through door eight.

Jay County Band Boosters will be sponsoring their spring fundraiser — it’s an online auction through Bricker Auction Company — from April 7 to April 13. Items in the auction will be available for public viewing during the week. 

Additionally, band section baskets will be open for in-person bidding during a silent auction Sunday. Check the band’s Facebook page for more details.

Freewill donations will also be accepted for a cookie reception following the concert.

HSE diploma

John Jay Center for Learning is looking for more students to join its Fast Track High School Equivalency program. Classes are available for those looking to earn their HSE diploma, also known as a General Education Diploma, and can be completed in three months or less. Students may be eligible for scholarships. 

John Jay Center for Learning currently serves students from Jay, Adams, Blackford, Wells, Randolph and other counties. There’s also a program at Jay County Jail. The organization is looking for more students  — Indiana requires each group hosting the program to meet an attendance total of 80 students served per calendar year.
