Attention 2022-23 MJH Students: There will be a Cheer team meeting on August 5th at 1:00pm at MES/MJH. Any junior high student interested in being on the Cheer team is invited to attend. Please contact Mrs. Strickland at stricklandt@usd226.org for more information.
Beginning in the 2022-23 school year the National School Lunch Program will no longer provide free meals for all students. As a result, parents are highly encouraged to complete free and reduced lunch applications before school starts in August. The application process is online for your convenience. The link can be found on our district website in the Menu section, or you can visit, https://bit.ly/3PpBeX3. If families qualify, this will allow students to continue to eat free or pay a reduced rate for meals. Additionally, the school will receive additional funding for all students who qualify for FREE meals. Families who don't qualify for free or reduced lunch will continue to pay for meals similar to two years ago. Please remember there is a discounted price when meals are purchased by the semester. More information will be available at enrollment.
