Students spent the day sketching and photographing "live" wildlife animals at a close distance.

Specifically, USDA's move will enable school districts to continue to leverage the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) and the Seamless Summer Option (SSO) to provide no-cost meals to all children, through June 30, 2021.

JLHS photography students recently engaged in project-based learning off-site projects. These students are studying how to photo shoot architecture inside and outside. Prior to their actual location shooting, students had to research both ways of shooting as well as do an indoor/outdoor practice session at the Mound City Courthouse. According to student Bradley Rhodes, "It takes a lot of patience to adjust your camera settings to where it needs to be." The students' final "real" photo shoot was then completed at the Lyons Mansion in Fort Scott and Cedar Crest Lodge in Pleasanton.
Due to Covid-19 concerns at Chetopa, the High School Volleyball matches scheduled there on Tuesday, October 13 have been cancelled. We are currently working on a replacement for those lost matches and will provide updates if that is available.
