MJHS 25-26

Through song and service, our Jr. High Student Council shared the spirit of the season by caroling at local nursing homes. These small moments of connection made a big impact for both our students and our community.

Thank you to our JH Student Council and MJHS students for hosting a canned food drive to support the Webster County Food Pantry! We’re proud of our Blue Jays for giving back and helping local families this season!

MJHS art students participated in the Lions Club Peace Poster Contest this quarter, showcasing their creativity and artistic talent. We are proud to share that three students placed locally, and one student earned recognition at the district level. Great job, Blue Jays!

History Club Field Trip Adventure! 

Our History Club had a fantastic day exploring the past! Students visited Smallin Civil War Cave, where they learned about the cave’s role in local history and enjoyed an up-close look at this incredible natural landmark. Of course, there was also time to raid the gift shop for a few treasures!

Afterward, the group made a stop at Braum’s to enjoy some well-earned ice cream before heading to the Springfield History Museum for their final tour of the day.

It was a memorable trip full of learning, laughter, and lots of stories from our region’s history.

Thank You, Hope Church of the Nazarene! 

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Hope Church of the Nazarene for their generous donation of Powerade to our Marshfield Junior High athletes! Your support means so much, and we are grateful for partners who invest in the health and success of our students. We appreciate you!
As a fun bonus, some of our athletes helped unload the Powerade during Red Ribbon Spirit Week—and on this particular day, everyone was wearing their shirts backwards to “turn our backs on drugs!” A perfect reminder of teamwork, positive choices, and community spirit.

Congratulations to Mrs. Messick! She was awarded a $500 grant from Arvest Bank to purchase a new 3D printer for her Project Lead the Way (PLTW) classroom! We can’t wait to see the amazing creations her students will bring to life with this new technology. 

Serving with Heart
Mrs. Lemons' students rolled up their sleeves to serve at Wheel Fed last week! This program, a partnership between Ozarks Food Harvest and Kingdom Church, helps provide food for families in our community. We are so proud of their hard work and the difference they’re making!

Sixth Grade Tribute at Memorial Park
On September 11, our sixth grade students visited Memorial Park in Marshfield to take part in an interactive tribute. This meaningful experience gave them the chance to reflect, learn, and honor the significance of the day in a hands-on way.

Marshfield Junior High has launched Career Café, an exciting new opportunity to connect our students with the real world of work! Community members are invited to share their career journeys, experiences, and advice with our students in a relaxed, small-group setting. 

Marshfield Jr. High: Celebrating Student Success!
