Getting to some of Jonesboro’s summer hot spots just got a little cheaper.

Now through August 30, the cost for kids 12-18 to ride JETS buses has been reduced.

The cost is 25-cents per ride or $10 for an unlimited pass.

JETS has bus stops at the city swimming pool, Jonesboro Public Library, ASU Museum, Mall at Turtle Creek, Parker Park and Allen Park Community Centers.

To receive a discount, children must present a school-issued student ID.

Unlimited ride passes can only be purchased at the City Collector’s window in City Hall.

St. Bernards will sponsor the first of two Safe Sitter classes on Wednesday, June 12, for boys and girls, ages 11-13, interested in babysitting.

According to an email from Rebecca Rasberry with St. Bernards, the program uses a "medically accurate curriculum to teach young people how to handle emergencies when caring for younger children."

Topics will include safety for the sitter, what to do when a child chokes, how to call for emergency help and much more.

The 123rd Annual Memorial Service of the Keller’s Chapel Cemetery will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 19.

The Reverend Wayne Clark will be the speaker.  Music will be provided by the Valley View Choral Department under the direction of Jo Brinkle.

Everyone is invited to this special service.

The cemetery is located at 2012 Kellers Chapel Road in Jonesboro.
