Knoxville Junior High School

Good afternoon! Here is this week's KJHS Newsletter - https://secure.smore.com/n/t69fk. I'm especially proud of our school for collecting in excess of 1,000 canned goods this week to donate to the Knoxville Council of Churches. Special kudos to the girls basketball teams for both securing the #1 seed in their respective Regional, and congrats to the 7th grade team on finishing the regular season 20-0!!!

Thank you for taking a few minutes to read through the newsletter and have a wonderful weekend!

KJHS had an amazing day of giving! Our students collected 217 food items during school today and another 161 at tonight’s basketball game. That brings our total to 705 items so far! This should put the Jr High in first place!

Tomorrow brings another fun day of spirit and generosity—please send in breakfast food items. Just a reminder that all donations must be non-perishable.

Thank you so much for your support and kindness!

Breakfast for tomorrow, Thursday November 20, 2025 at KJHS has been changed to Pop Tarts due to delivery delays. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Both the KJHS Boys and Girls basketball teams are back in action again tonight. The Girls travel to Mercer County for their final conference matchup of the season vs. the Golden Eagles. Games will be played at Mercer County Junior High, 1002 SW 6th St, Aledo, IL 61231. Meanwhile, the boys are at home and host Sherrard to host their conference season. 7th grade games begin at 5:30 pm at both locations.

**We are hosting a food drive this week at KJHS. Any fans who bring in canned goods/donations this evening will not be charged admission. Please see the attached picture more details and thank you in advance! Go Big Blue!!**

The standings as of today: MWES is in first with 397 food items, KJHS is in second with 327 food items, and KHS is in last place with 193.

Tomorrow is Sports Day.

KJHS had a pretty good amount of students dressed for the Spirit Day and a decent amount of food items donated...but we can do so much better! Tomorrow is Twin Day. Please send in your canned veggies. Thank you.

**Schedule changes - to avoid potential conflicts, two KJHS Boys Basketball games have been moved.
The game Wednesday, December 3 vs. Orion has been moved to Thursday, December 18.
The game Wednesday, December 10 vs. Kewanee has been moved to Tuesday, December 9.
Both games will still be held at KJHS, with 7th grade beginning at 5:30 pm. Go Bullets!!**

Good afternoon! Hopefully you have a chance to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather the next couple days. Here is this week's KJHS Newsletter - https://secure.smore.com/n/t69fk.
