A reminder that Monday the 21st is a student holiday, due to our staff development day, enjoy your 3-day weekend!
Friday will be NERD Day for everyone that wants to participate and earn points for your grade toward the Top Dog Competition!!
We would like to congratulate our 8th graders that are in the HS Band for their First Division performance at the Mineola Marching Contest earlier this week and wish them good luck as they prepare for their upcoming District Marching Contest. Great job Proud Blue Band.
Beginning Tuesday, October 22nd through Wednesday, October 30th, our campus will have a Box Tops competition between our 5th period classes. Bring your clipped Box Tops OR grocery store receipt where you purchased a Box Top Product, and help your 5th period class win a PIZZA Party!!

QJH Students took some time today to spruce up our front entrance in preparation for fall.
Big thank you to Ms. Hipp and all of our students that took part in the festivities!
QJH would like to thank all those that helped us with our Fall Dance and Haunted House. In addition to all of our staff members that helped to create an incredible SPOOK HOUSE, we would like to especially applaud: Vanessa Fabela and family, Hayley Russell, Christin Henderson, Cassidy Alcorn, and Mike & Lisa Pence for the time they gave to help us.
We would also like to thank Mrs. Ashley Veach, the Student Council and Builders' Club members that helped set up for and decorate for our fun times. We appreciate Ms. Maria Reyes for helping to organize our parents to get everything together.
Our JH was able to collect over 1200 cans for the canned food drive that will be donated to our Quitman Christmas Caring and Sharing for the upcoming holiday season.
I am so proud of our QJH Village!!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
