Mrs. Kelley’s 2nd grade and Mrs. Mahan’s 7-8 grade classes worked collaboratively to honor our Veterans for Thanksgiving. Mrs. Patty Burge, President of Missouri VFW, asked if we could help bring some Thanksgiving cheer to the Veteran’s home in central Missouri. We presented her with our writings, poems, and craft projects for the Veterans to enjoy next week.

Never too early to start planning for next school year We hope this early calendar helps with planning family trips and vacations.

🎉 BIG NEWS for Junction Hill! 🎉
We are incredibly proud to announce that our school earned 95% of our APR points this year — the highest score in our area and a distinction achieved by fewer than 5% of schools statewide!

For those who may not know, the Annual Performance Report (APR) is Missouri’s accountability system for schools. It looks at student achievement, growth, attendance, readiness, and school climate to give a clear picture of how well a school is serving its students. Scoring this high means we’re doing an exceptional job in every area that matters for student success.

This achievement didn’t happen by accident. It is the result of:
Dedicated teachers who consistently go above and beyond.
Hard-working students who show up, give their best, and make us proud every day.
A supportive community that believes in our kids and stands behind our school.

To everyone who plays a part in making Junction Hill the incredible place it is — THANK YOU. This score reflects all of us, together.

Here’s to continuing the tradition of excellence!

The Mincey Benefit was a huge success! Thank you to everyone who donated, participated, helped and attended the benefit Friday evening. The benefit raised $65,787 for the Mincey family.

They are so grateful and overwhelmed by the support and generosity of the community. The love and kindness that has been poured out simply illustrates the blessings and the strength of our community to help a friend and neighbor.
