🏀💜💛 From the classroom to the college campus… our Ducks are going places! 🦆🎉 We can't wait to take New Central on this exciting adventure! What a great opportunity for our students to experience college life, cheer on the Leathernecks, and make some unforgettable memories! A HUGE thank you to Western Illinois University and Spoon River College for opening their doors and making these opportunities possible for our students! We're also incredibly grateful to the Havana Transportation Department for helping make this schoolwide adventure happen! 🚌 📣 New Central families: Keep an eye out for additional information coming home in student backpacks, through ClassDojo, and via email from Alma. As always, feel free to call the New Central office with any questions or if you need additional assistance!

🎶 Congratulations to our talented students! 🎶 We are proud to recognize Madelynn Snedeker, who was selected for Senior Band, and Emilie Steketee, who was selected for Senior Chorus at the District IV ILMEA Music Festival! These students auditioned for this honor and were selected to participate in today's festival at Western Illinois University in Macomb. They will spend the day rehearsing with talented student musicians from across the district before showcasing their hard work in a concert at 4:30 p.m. in Western Hall. We are so proud of Madelynn and Emilie and their dedication to music! Way to represent our school! Go Ducks!❤️🎵 📸 Pictures to follow after the concert!

Havana Junior High is celebrating great attendance this quarter with weekly drawings for a prize pack! Every student with perfect attendance for the week is entered and a winner is drawn.

Let's fill our community with red white and blue on Wednesday, November 11th as we honor our veterans ❤️🤍💙

Kasyn Jibben will wrap up her cross country season tomorrow morning at the state meet in Peoria. No matter what happens in that race, it will not discount the fantastic season she has put together.

This year, HHS Life Skills packed a grand total of 2,753 shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child! Our students worked hard to sort, organize, and pack each box with care. Through this experience, they put their skills into action by practicing teamwork, communication, organization, and following directions. Most importantly, they learned that their efforts can make a meaningful difference in the lives of children around the world by sharing joy, hope, and love through each shoebox. 🌎🎁 After all their hard work, our students enjoyed a well-deserved lunch at McDonald’s! We were so busy packing boxes today that we barely had time to take pictures! We were excited to have a special visit from Mrs. Lee, who joined us in all the fun. ❤️ #HavanaDucks #HHSLifeSkills #OperationChristmasChild #AllDucksFlyTogether #MakingADifference #LifeSkillsInAction
