Junction Hill was blessed to host an area concert event today! Thank you Howell Valley, OCA, and West Plains for bringing your students and sharing your music with us. Our Hornet Choir sounded great and the kids got to see two well established High School Choirs in action.
Tomorrow, November 11th, Junction Hill school will be attending the Veterans day parade in downtown West Plains. The forecast for the morning is calling for temperatures in the 40s with a chance for rain at 40%. Please dress your child warm for the weather. Also, remember Junction Hill is hosting a veterans day assembly tomorrow afternoon. Doors open at 2:30 and the assembly will begin at 2:45.

In honor of our veterans, Junction Hill School will be hosting our annual Veterans Day Ceremony on Friday, November 11, at 2:45 pm in the Gymnasium.
All visiting Veterans and their loved ones are welcome and will have the chance to hear songs, and poems thanking the Veterans for their service. Each veteran will receive a small gift and be recognized for their service and honor.
The assembly will include the Presentation of Colors from the 8 th grade Student Council members, Armed Forces Medley and a slide show presentation. The assembly will also include the tradition of setting a separate table in honor of our prisoners of war and missing comrades.
STG2 Kirk Hoffman, an accomplished United States Navy veteran, Sonar Technician 2nd Class Petty Officer, is our keynote speaker. Hoffman served two nine-month deployments across the Western Pacific.
He is currently a Middle School Math and Physical Education teacher at Junction Hill.
Junction Hill School annually celebrates Veterans Day. To RSVP to the event, please call the school number at 417-256-4265 or email: ssydow@junctionhill.k12.mo.us
Attention Parents. Monday October 31st Pre K-8 classes at Junction Hill School will have a Halloween Costume and Parade contest that will be held in the Gym from 2:30 till 3:00. The classroom parties are closed to visitors though we are happy to allow parents into the Gym to watch this Junction Hill tradition. This year we ask parents who would like to come to arrive at the Gym doors before or by 2:30 to observe the costume parade. Parents wishing to check their students out after the parade may do so, though the absence will count against the student's attendance.

HONORING ALL WHO SERVED

At 2:30 pm, in the Gymnasium
Dear Junction Hill Families,
Veterans Day, a time for us to come together and honor all who have or are currently serving in our nation’s armed forces will soon be here. We are asking for all of our families to send in photographs of their family members who have served or are serving in a branch of the United States Armed Forces. Along with the photograph, we need the person(s) name, branch of military, time of service (i.e. 2007-2013), and their relation to anyone at the school (i.e. father of, aunt of). If you would like to include any other information such as highest rank achieved or special awards or commendations, feel free to do so. The photographs and included information will be in a slide show to honor veterans from our school and community.
Mrs. Ledgerwood will assemble the slideshow and would like the photos sent to her via email at tledgerwood@junctionhill.k12.mo.us. You may also bring your photograph(s) in person and leave them at the front office. They will be scanned and ready for you to retrieve by the next school day. If you trust your child to bring them in, please put them in an envelope with your contact information and have your child give them to their teacher, Mrs. Ledgerwood or Mrs. Sydow.
In order for there to be enough time to gather the photographs and assemble the slideshow, we MUST receive the photos no later than Thursday, November 3. We cannot guarantee the photographs will be included in the slide show if they are sent in after this date.
