MS Cheer Tryout Date Change!

Our community has experienced a heartbreaking loss. One of our football players passed away, and our hearts are heavy.
He was a kind-hearted young man who was loved by so many — a teammate, a friend, a son, and an important part of our school family.
Please keep his family, our football team, and our entire school community in your prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
We do not have arrangements at this time, but we will share updates as they become available. There has been a GoFund Me set up in his memory.

We will have counselors available for students and staff to help during this difficult time.

4th graders enjoyed a visit from Molly the Megabody! The Jonesboro Junior Auxiliary came to show our 4th graders the parts of the body and how to stay healthy!
