Your generosity helped make our Gumbo with Guardians Holiday Game Night a memorable success for our students and families. We truly appreciate your continued support of Natchitoches Junior High and our PBIS initiatives.
For one solid week, students worked diligently and vigorously on decorating their posters with information on the robot they were assigned to research.
The posters were then graded on a 200-point rubric with attributes ranging from plagiarism, creativity, timeliness, photos, and organization.
Mr. Thomas said that he wanted to get these students in-the-habit of using rubrics that involved these attributes, especially timeliness, because this is what they'll see in high school.
The winners are:
1st Place
Zariah Pearrie
($20, a Plaque, 20 Indian Bucks, Free Dress Down Day)
2nd Place
Estuardo Hernandez
($15, a Plaque, 15 Indian Bucks, Free Dress Down Day)
3rd Place
Angel McGinnis
($10, a Plaque, 10 Indian Bucks, Free Dress Down Day)
Congratulations are in order for these students on being recognized and awarded for their hard work and dedication!
We’re excited to welcome everyone this evening for our Gumbo with Guardians Holiday Game Night! Thank you to everyone who prepaid—your support has been incredible.
Please note:
The deadline to guarantee gumbo has passed. We have prepared 140 servings and are almost at capacity.
‼️ If you still plan to attend, come on!
Gumbo will be served on a first-come, first-served basis.
We can’t wait to enjoy a festive night of food, fun, and games with you all TONIGHT! ❤️💚
Formerly the Natchitoches Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, the Boys to Men Club, led by Mr. Jermaine Thomas, has been serving this facility for the last several years.
With a total of 65 residents, each of them were given a small bag that contained jello pudding, fruit snacks, bottle of water, and some lotions & soaps.
One of the missions of the Boys to Men Club is to SERVE and Give Back to the community, so this is just one way that this organization is living up to it's mission statement.

Where Everybody Is Somebody.
Our NJH students have been on fire during the Zearn Space Race Challenge — and it’s time to celebrate the ones who stayed consistent, met their goals, and blasted through their lessons! 🌟💻
These students completed 9 or more Zearn lessons during the challenge window, showing incredible effort, dedication, and grit. Their hard work is paying off with stronger math skills, boosted confidence, and major academic growth. 📈✨
🏆 Why this is a big deal:
Students who complete 3+ lessons a week make double the growth in math. These champions didn’t just meet the expectation — they crushed it.
🎉 Let’s give a HUGE shout-out to our Space Race finishers!
Keep aiming high, Indians — your hard work is helping you reach the stars! 🌌

🏆 Challenge Details:
⭐ Weekly Goal: Complete 3 or more lessons per week
🎯 Overall Goal: Complete 9 or more lessons total by November 21st
🎁 Incentives: Students who meet their goals will earn prizes and special recognition!

🏀 NJH vs. NSU LAB – GAME RECAP! 🏀
Our Indians brought the HEAT last night! From start to finish, the gym was rocking as our players battled hard, locked in on defense, and delivered highlight-reel moments that had the crowd on their feet. Every possession showed heart, hustle, and pride — and these three players stood out with unforgettable performances! 🔥
🔥 PLAYER OF THE GAME – Harmoni Morrow
Harmoni was unstoppable — leading the team with 14 points and setting the tone early with relentless defense. She forced turnovers, shut down key opponents, and came up clutch when it mattered most. Her all-around dominance made her the heartbeat of the game! 💪
🔥 PLAYER OF THE GAME – Henry McSheppard
Henry turned in a dominant performance, dropping 18 points and making huge plays on both ends of the floor. His lightning-quick steals and fast-break finishes gave the Indians major momentum. From start to finish, Henry was a force to be reckoned with! ⚡
🔥 PLAYER OF THE GAME – Kobe Williams
Kobe proved that heart beats height every time. Leading with unmatched hustle and energy, he pressured the ball, dove for every loose play, and completely disrupted the NSU Lab offense. Small but mighty, Kobe’s determination set the tone for his entire team! 🔥
Proud of our athletes for leaving it all on the court — the future is bright for this squad! 💯
