New Challenge for Wildcat Family 🐾 Hello Wildcat Family! We have an exciting challenge for you! By committing just one hour to volunteer at your child's school (literally just 1 hour makes a huge difference and enters us to win), you can help your school compete for a chance to win $3,500. We encourage all parents and caregivers to learn more and take the pledge (zip code 41256) at https://onehourforschools.ptotoday.com And remember… your volunteer hours count as well!

It has been a great first week in Mrs. Bevins' class. We have played rounding games during small group, did quiz,quiz ,trade with rounding, used jot thoughts to write compound words, and made vocabulary cards and played quiz, quiz, trade. We also had our first Student of the Week voted by their classmates. It has been an exciting time of learning!

Through ongoing communication with Carissa’s parents, and in honoring their wishes for their daughter, the Johnson County School District asks our entire community to unite in support of her family.

We invite all students, staff, and community members to wear pink on Monday, August 17. Pink was Carissa’s favorite color, and wearing it together will serve as a symbol of our shared love, unity, and support.

Per her parents' wishes, all district schools—including Johnson County Middle School—will be in session on Monday. District flags will fly at half-staff in Carissa’s honor, and counselors and school psychologists will continue to be available in our schools to support our students and staff.

Please continue to keep Carissa’s family, friends, and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers during this heartbreaking time.
