Veterans' Day Assembly November 11, 2019  On Monday, November 11, JHS was proud to honor our community heroes at the annual Veterans' Day Assembly in the school's gym. Braving the snowy weather, 30 veterans from all branches of the military attended the assembly. During the assembly, a slideshow was presented to honor those that have served or are currently serving from our staff and students’ families, which can be seen here. Our guest speaker, Mr. Gary Blackmore, a veteran himself, spoke on how he serves other veterans through various organizations including the veterans’ hospice, veterans’ court and Central Missouri Honor Flight. The week prior to the assembly, the students had a Penny War and raised $559.31 which was presented to Mr. Blackmore to give to the veterans’ organization of his choice. He chose Central Missouri Honor Flight to receive those funds. Rep. Sara Walsh was also in attendance to honor our veterans.  On Sunday, November 24, students and staff attended the “Welcome Home” ceremony for Flight 61 in Columbia to present the funds to the Central Missouri Honor flight. We are so grateful to those who have given so much on our behalf. Thank you, Veterans! If your veteran was not featured in this year’s slideshow, please send their photo, name, branch of service, rank, dates of service, who they are related to at JHS and if they are a graduate of JHS along with graduation year to griffinc@jamestown.k12.mo.us. Renaissance Festival October 5, 2019  On Saturday, Mrs. Cowgill took several students to the Kansas City Renaissance Festival. They enjoyed the shows, faire foods, and some even got Henna Tattoos and costumes. They had a lot of fun! Fare thee well, Eagles! Representative Walsh Visit October 3, 2019  On Thursday, Representative Sara Walsh visited with our 3rd and 4th graders about Missouri government and her role as their representative. She also brought a sample of the "Back the Blue" license plate that she helped sponsor which will be available for citizens to purchase. Thanks for sharing with us, Rep. Walsh!
