The Nebo School District is celebrating National School Breakfast week March 3-March 7. The 2014 theme for this annual event is "Take Time for School Breakfast".  Throughout the week we have numerous activities including prize giveaways in the cafeterias and both a school and district-wide art contest. Students can enter their school's art contest for a small prize. The winner at each school will then be submitted to the district-wide contest. We will choose 4 district-wide winners who will receive bicycles as a grand prize!

During the first two weeks of February, MJHS launched a campaign to encourage students and parents to start following our school on Facebook and Twitter.  Social media is a great way to keep our MJHS Community connected.  All 2nd period classes participated in the contest by having students submit a signed form with signatures of individuals who "liked" and or "followed" us on Facebook and/or Twitter.
