There will be a Flu Shot Clinic at Jacksonville Elementary and Jacksonville High School Academies for scholars from 9-11. Scholars wishing to receive the flu shot must have forms turned in to the office by the time the clinic begins.
Yesterday Mr. Harvey from the Philander Smith Social Justice Institute came to assist our 10th graders with writing letters to our representatives regarding issues they care about. Some issues scholars chose include emancipation and employment minimum age requirement, domestic violence and school lunches. We plan to send these letters to our representatives as part of our 10th grade Beyond the Walls Experience.
It was a full house today in our Wolves Den during Henderson State University’s visit!
Tomorrow, Jacksonville Lighthouse Academy scholars will have a special lunch Fall Fellowship. Scholars are encouraged to bring healthy lunches and snacks as well as blankets and board games for an extended lunch time of fun and fellowship before our Fall Break. Club information will also be available during this time.

Take a look at the calendar for the activities pertaining to your scholars.
For Hispanic Heritage Month, we would like to highlight Wilmer, one of our scholars who shared on the Hispanic Spotlight Wall what it means to be Hispanic.
Our wall will continue to expand in the days to come!
When scholars are having a tough day or if they are spotted doing something extraordinary, they can grab a little ray of sunshine from Ms. Willis' vinyl sticker bar. Vinyl sticker bars have become a running theme throughout offices and classrooms at the high school...it's part of our be the light mission!
We are inspired by what the scholars say they need! We took the time to ask scholars what learning experiences we can make happen for them and this is what they told us. We want to always remember our WHY when we come onto campus, so we "posted"them front and center! It's all about our SCHOLARS!
Everyday is picture day at ALA!
