Congratulations to our 8th grade boys basketball team on a hard fought win over Kewanee last night at home! In the process, they secured the travel banner and set themselves up to control their own destiny for a conference title if they win out. Great job boys!!

The KJHS Student Council is selling Candy Grams this week!
All proceeds will be used to purchase holiday gifts for students right here at KJHS.

Our school counselor, Mrs. Ingle, selects several students each year who are in need of essential itemsโ€”not just wantsโ€”during the holiday season. My executive board and I then shop for these students (without knowing their names) and work hard to provide not only the necessities but also a few special wishes to make their holiday brighter.

You can help us make this season merry by either sending your child with money to purchase Candy Grams for $1 each, or by choosing to donate directly.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support!

Our KJHS 8th Grade Girls Basketball team brought home the Regional Championship last Friday night! They will now play for the Sectional Championship and a trip to IESA State on Wednesday, December 10 at 6:00 pm vs. Illini Bluffs. The game will be played at St. Philomena School in Peoria. We will take a fan bus for any students who would like to attend the game. It will be open to the first 50 students who sign up AND pay the $5 entry fee to the game. We collect this ahead of time so that students don't have to walk up and individually pay for entry to the game. Signups will begin tomorrow morning, Tuesday, December 9 in the KJHS office. Students who plan to attend will need money if they want to purchase anything from the concession stand. The bus will leave KJHS at 4:50 pm and we will send a notification when we depart from Peoria. Good luck and Go Bullets!!
