Clayton Blankers created this masterpiece using nothing but Sharpie pens. The detail is immaculate! Mrs. Pursel, our amazing art teacher, framed this work of art for Clayton to take home and keep forever! #JCNExcellence



Mrs. Moore’s kindergartners visited the library today. We read a book about snow and then colored some winter pictures and worked a puzzle.





The Varsity Scholars Bowl team placed 1st at the Pleasant Ridge meet. Awesome job everyone!

📢ATTENTION 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th grade parents: Our school will soon be administering the Kansas Communities That Care (KCTC) Student Survey*. This survey is taken by 6th, 8th, 10th and 12th grade students statewide. We believe this survey is a valuable tool to help us understand how students behave, think and feel about alcohol, marijuana and other drug use, bullying and school safety. All parents must sign and return this form to school by January 13, 2023. To learn more about which survey questions our school district will administer to students, please contact your school administrator; EMS-913-886-3870 or HS-913-774-8515. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Click here to complete the survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeS9tRL35x0KetWoIw8zIfrdmrnC2xY9Vnjx1AEj7x6ckFL8A/viewform?usp=pp_url
