A couple elementary classes had a lesson on the Macy Thanksgiving Parade. As a hands-on activity, they created their own parade balloons. They made some pretty neat creations and shared their work by means of a parade!


Our lost and found table is piling up. If your student has not returned home with a hoodie, jacket, lunchbox, or more, have them stop by the library to check the table. If you recognize anything, please feel free to send a message through Facebook and we can try to assist you.

Thank you to the Clay City Banking Co. for fitting us in before the holiday rush, we appreciate you taking the time out of your day to talk to students from Clay City High School!




There will be NO SCHOOL tomorrow - Friday, November 22.


The winter weather is creeping in. Please be sure to send students to school dressed appropriately for the weather!


Mrs. Hildebrand’s freshmen World History class capped off their unit on Ancient Egypt with some special guests much like the sophomores did last week! Students were tasked with creating mini-lessons on topics in Ancient Egyptian history that most interested them. This time though, Mrs. French’s fourth graders joined the World History class today and were able to learn about Ancient Egyptian agriculture, children’s lives, constellations, and mummification. The fourth graders were awesome guests!

REMINDER: CCJH students will be going to Vincennes tomorrow to see the historical sites. Some of this field trip will require walking. The temperature is supposed to be in the low 40s. Please dress appropriately.

Thursday, November 21 is Family Reading Night sponsored by the Illinois Secretary of State, State Librarian, and Illinois State Library.

This is an event that you can take part in from the comfort of your own home. Just sit back and read with your student!
A flyer discussing what Family Reading Night is all about will be coming home with pre-k through 5th grade students. At the bottom of the flyer will be a portion for the student to fill out and turn back in. Mrs. Goodrum will then hold a drawing and some lucky student will receive a $10 gift certificate to The Scoop! Happy Reading!
