Knoxville Junior High School would like to thank Doug Atwater and Country Financial for the donation that benefited both students and staff this school year. With the donation, we were able to provide student rewards for the quarterly missing assignment challenges. Additionally, 220 students were recognized and earned a full size candy bar for their hard work and growth on end of the year assessments. We were also able to purchase recess equipment and games, as well as a storage cabinet to house many of these items. Finally, staff members enjoyed a catered lunch and a gift card "drawing" to thank them for their dedication and efforts. THANK YOU!!

The Knoxville American Legion Auxiliary would like to thank the Knoxville students for contributing approximately $650 to the annual poppy fundraiser this year. This will be used to help fund veteran programs associated with post #749. Thank you again!
