Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity!

Mrs. Johnson’s Media Design and Communications students teamed up with the Oskaloosa Independent to create the Chargers in the News bulletin board. The Oskaloosa Independent generously donated two copies of the newspaper each week. Students cut out and laminate articles featuring JCN Chargers and add them to the bulletin board in the hallway. The second copy of newspaper is for the students to read. The students have been very excited to read the articles and see who has been “in the news."
Short video this week!
Have a good Thanksgiving and break! Catch us next week when we get back into the swing of things with basketball games!

Charger Notes 💚 November 24- 28
Mr. Tweed's 3rd hour Mass Production class was able to get the first of three shelves assembled in the prom loft! Pictured are Merrick Noll, Wyatt Silvers, and Will Elias.
Photography class has been learning all about the basic settings of dslr cameras and to further their understanding of shutter speed we experimented with glow sticks in the dark! They had fun learning how a slow shutter speed can capture movement.
Life skills class is learning all about stress management and mental wellness. We kicked off our unit with a mindfulness and yoga session led by our very own Ms. Denise. Thank you Denise for sharing your knowledge with our students!
Come cheer on the JCNMS Girls as they play in Atchison this afternoon. JCNMS vs. SBCS will begin play at 4:30 pm. 💚🏀🤍
