Congratulations to the KJHS
music department for outstanding chorus, orchestra, and band performances at
the annual spaghetti supper at NCHS on November 3!The KJHS students were outstanding in all of
their performances, and I was very proud of everyone! The 8th grade band proudly debuted the KJHS song! I look forward to their upcoming
concerts the week of December 15.
KJHS is one of four schools
in Illinois to have been selected for Touchdown
to Wellness, a St. LouisDairy Council
sponsored program, which will provide our school with $4,000 to promote healthy
eating and physical exercise.After the
first of the year KJHS will participate in two events, one that focuses on healthy
eating and one that emphasizes physical fitness.KJHS students will be included in planning
these events.All students are in the
process of taking a short survey during PE classes to determine their current
eating and exercising habits before begin the program. If you have any
questions about this survey, please contact the St. Louis Dairy council. We are excited to have been chosen for this
project which will benefit our students!
Don’t forget that there is
no school for students on Wednesday, November 26.Teachers will be participating in Institute
Day activities that focus on school improvement.
I apologize or the tardiness
of the October/November newsletter.We
ran into several glitches in getting it out on time.The December/January newsletter will only be
posted online unless you have completed and turned in the form to have a paper
copy mailed in the last newsletter.We
are trying to save printing and postage costs, but we want to provide copies
for anyone who wants one. Additional copies will be available in the main
office.
I hope you enjoy the
upcoming holidays!Thanks for all of you
support for our KJHS Cavaliers!
