CJ welcomes MSSU Junior Interns
|
|
A selection of students from Missouri Southern are enriching their education by completing a Junior Internship program in conjunction with Carl Junction Schools. In late August, the group of college students spent time training in our policies and procedures, touring the buildings, and meeting administration.
These interns, now trained, have been placed in classroom settings, to get an immersive understanding of a teacher's life before next year when they begin their student teaching.
This is the first cohort group of this type in the area. These MSSU students had to apply for and be selected into the program.

Bulldog Eclipse Experiences
Students of all ages experienced the solar eclipse that took place on August 21.
The school provided students with approved eyewear:
- The K-1 students took turns with an adult staff member/volunteer glancing at the phenomenon
- The 2-3 and Intermediate students did a longer viewing and many classrooms integrated a whole STEM process including charting and documenting
- Junior High and High School students had a great view from Bulldog Stadium.
Thank you to everyone who made this possible for our kids!
