“One of the greatest skills a scientist can have is to wonder 🤔 and to ask questions 🙋♀️,” Ms. Hocklander, 5th Grade Teacher, JTSD.
Can we speed up the ripening process of bananas? The students tried to keep their bananas in the freezer 🥶, the refrigerator, the greenhouse🌱, and some at room temperature just to see how each environment will effect the ripening process.

Nixa High School Homecoming Events |
|
We have received questions from businesses about sponsorships and donations for our Homecoming dances this weekend. The district does not have a Homecoming dance this weekend due to COVID-19. Anyone asking for donations/sponsorships for a Nixa Homecoming event is not from the school and donations are not tax deductible through the school.
The district canceled the event due to the fact that almost 1,000 students attend the dance and would be in close proximity to each other. We did not want the event to become a situation where COVID-19 was spread, which would lead to the cancellation of other events like our Nixa vs. Ozark football game, the theater production, as well as other athletic and after school activities. The district's goal is to have events in the future by giving up some of the events this fall. However, if the spread in our community continues, future events will also be in jeopardy of being canceled. What we do now impacts the rest of the school year.
The high school is having a dodgeball tournament so students have an activity to participate in, but the attendance is lower and we can make sure students are not in close contact the whole time. We are better able to contact trace with the health department at the dodgeball tournament as well, which would lead to fewer students having to be quarantined if someone is positive at the event.

Nixa Football | 9.25 | v. Neosho Wildcats |
|
Here are the options for watching the game:
-
We will release any remaining visitor side tickets on Friday morning at 8 a.m. at www.nixaathletics.net/tickets. If you purchase a visitor side ticket you will have to stay on the visitor side of the field the entire game. No exceptions. We will have some physical visitor tickets for purchase on the visitor side for Nixa or Neosho fans at 5 p.m. on Friday.
-
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
-
Watch the game live on CityLinkTV or our Youtube Channel.
-
If you attend numerous sporting events throughout the year, check to see if an athletic pass is a good option for you. Go to the Nixa Athletics ticketing page to see if any are available.
Our goal is to make sure that our team is able to play the game and also limit the spread of COVID-19 in our community, which is why we are limiting ticket sales this year.
