September 28, 2020
This ceremony honored the seniors in football🏈, band🎺, and cheerleading📣. Even though the seniors were the ones being recognized, the parents of the students also deserve a ton of credit 👏👏 as they get to see their sons and daughters reach another milestone that some thought may not happen this year because of the current pandemic. 

We want to recognize all the seniors that have competed for the last four years!! Congratulations🎉🎉.
Nixa Football | 10.2 | @ Ozark High School
Tickets for Friday’s football game vs. Ozark will be only sold at the gate at this point in time. Gates open at 5:45 p.m. and Nixa fans should use the north or south-east entrance. Currently, Ozark also has no plans to limit capacity. If this changes or tickets will be sold ahead of time, we will update you.

Here are the options for watching the game:
  1. Go watch Nixa Football live at B&B Theaters. We have partnered with B&B Theaters to show Nixa football live in their theater on Friday night. See the attached flyer for details. There is a $5 entry fee and concessions will benefit Care to Learn Nixa when you mention that to them, so help support Care to Learn if you go.  Click HERE to go to the B&B Website
  2. Watch the game live on CityLinkTV or our Youtube Channel.
There Is Science Everywhere!
First graders at JTSD know science happens EVERYWHERE! After finding a caterpillar outside of her house, Shannon Winkler's students made observations and scientific sketches while learning more about them! Then, we found out that multiple students had found the same type of caterpillar outside of their house too!
