Thank you in advance for your understanding and patience as we get the volleyball season rolling. Thanks, Matt

Toy Drive - Not able to make it to the basketball game but still want to donate a new toy? No problem! Send a new toy to the Jr High tomorrow for the Toys for Tots toy drive. The advisory that brings in the most toys will win an ice cream party! Thank you in advance!

Toy Drive - Bring a new toy to tomorrow's night KJHS Boys Basketball game and get in FREE! We will also be holding a 50/50 raffle during the games, with the winner drawn at halftime of the 8th grade game (*must be present to win*). Toys and proceeds of the raffle will be donated to Toys for Tots. Thank you in advance and Go Big Blue!

Please send in nonperishable food items for our food drive. Not only will you be helping people in our community, but you will also help your child's advisory win a PIZZA PARTY! The last day to send in items in Monday, December 4. Thank you!

The return from Thanksgiving has also brought a rise in illness and COVID infections in our community and schools. Knoxville Schools currently have a surplus of COVID tests we are happy to share with the community. If your student/family is having symptoms of COVID (headache, sore throat, body aches, exhaustion) and would like a test, you can pick one up at any of the schools, or we are happy to send some home with your student(s). Contact Jessica Lenz for more information.

It's giving Tuesday! Please consider donating to our Blessings in a Backpack program. We would love to continue to feed families in need on the weekend. https://giving.blessingsinabackpack.org/organizations/mable-woolsey-elem-school
