Finding the light 🌅 in the midst of darkness is exactly what 11-year old Ruben Martinez from El Paso, TX did after the tragic mass shooting event on Aug. 3, 2019. Ruben wanted to share kindness 🤝 during a time where it seemed impossible with his
#ElPasoChallenge
which comprised of
#22actsofkindness
one act for each life lost.
Ms. Lorie Norton's NJH FCCLA (Family Career and Community Leaders of America) club decided to do their own 22 acts of kindness to pay the good deed from El Paso forward.
The students of Nixa Junior High performed acts of kindness in their community by visiting nursing homes, shoveling snow for neighbors, leaving notes on a gas station mirror encouraging people, cooking a full meal for their club sponsor, helping one of their heroes nurse Leah Huff, and more.
Thank you FCCLA students and Mrs. Norton of their dedication and commitment to their community.

This has been a year that has had a major impact on our students, especially our senior class. While we see what plans for graduation will look like, we wanted to give you a chance to show your support to seniors by getting a yard sign honoring them.
You can order your yard sign by May 8 and then watch for the message on how you can pick up your sign in Nixa once they are printed. Thank you to 24 Hour Signs in Nixa for printing them.
Proceeds benefit Project Graduation.

Christian County Counts - Census Update
|
|
Christian County! We all pay taxes to the federal government (whether or not you are counted in the census). But the census determines how much of that federal money comes back to Christian County. If you want your tax dollars to come back to help our community, be sure to complete the census survey for your household!
Please take a few minutes to respond to the US Census. It has never been easier to respond on your own, whether
online
, over the
phone
or by
mail
— all without having to meet a census taker.
