September 10th, 2015


  • In the US, Patriot Day is observed as the National Day of Service and Remembrance for the victims of the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001.  Our moment of silence tomorrow will be dedicated to the victims of the 9/11 attacks.
  • Welcome Mrs. Owens!  Mrs. Lori Owens will be alongside Mrs. Eason through 9/18 getting the hang of all things Junior High!  I hate to embarrass her, but I have attached a picture so you can put a face with the name if you aren't already familiar with Mrs. Owens.  Let's give her a very warm welcome!
  • The JH Student Council is seeking designs for a JH t-shirt.  Contest details are hanging up around the school.  Designs are due September 11th.
  • At times, seconds are available in the cafeteria.  Only students with a positive balance in their account will be allowed to purchase seconds.
  • Attention parents of Jr. High Honor Band selectees, Jr. High Girl's Basketball players, and Jr. High Literary participants:  For all the Sangamon County Jr. High Schoolmasters events a professional printed program is distributed free of charge at the event.  Take this opportunity to place a Happy Ad in the event program for as little as $1.  Visit our website atwww.mcqualityeducserv.com for the details on submitting your Happy Ad today.
  • It is critical that students are dropped off and picked up on the JH side each day.  It is a safety issue that is completely avoidable.  If you are dropping off and/or picking up your child from school it must be from the designated areas and NOT on the dome side of the school.
  • If you don't have Family Access please contact Mrs. Eason to get setup - this is an invaluable resource!
  • Check out www.pretzelathletics.com for Pretzel Athletics updates, schedules, and results.  You can also follow Pretzel Athletics on Twitter @nbpretzelpride and on Facebook.
  • The character for the month is RESPONSIBILITY - A person of character meets the demands of duty, is responsible, pursues excellence, and exercises self-control.
