Coats & Jackets for Kids - The Morrison United Methodist Women & The City Rebar are partnering for the 2nd annual Community Coats and Jackets for Kids.  This event will be held in the Heritage Hall at the Morrison United Methodist Church (200 W. Lincolnway, Morrison) on Thursday, October 7, 8:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 P.M.  - 7:00 P.M.    Coats, jackets, boots, mittens, scarves, and hats in all children's sizes will be available for those who need them.  There will be no charge for anyone receiving these items.


In an effort to cut down on mailing costs, a new procedure for the monthly newsletter will begin with the October newsletter, however, the Aug./Sept.  newsletter will be mailed.  We will be sending the menu/newsletter with the students and posting it on the Junior High web page.  Information will be posted at www.morrisonschools.org.  

Lanyards are available for sale in the office.  This is a convenient way to keep track of lunch cards.  The
cost is $2.00.

Volleyball Games:

All games listed on the Junior HighLIGHTS calendar will begin at 4:00 P.M. unless otherwise noted. Good luck to our 7th and 8th grade Volleyball Colts!


On the first day of school, students received the 2010-2011 Handbook. Parents and students are highly encouraged to read through the first portion of the book, as these pages contain MJHS rules and guidelines and other helpful information. Students, teachers and PARENTS are required to sign the form stating the handbook was received and reviewed.  Handbooks may also be viewed online at www.morrisonschools.org/jhhandbook.


Absences

*Parents are asked to come to the office to sign the release form or send a note of explanation in advance of a pre-arranged absence.
