There will be a Back-to-School Carnival at Blue Jay Stadium at Junction City High School on Thursday, Aug. 4 from 6-8 p.m.
USD 475 Superintendent of Schools Dr. Reginald Eggleston said the first event of this type was held last year and had a tremendous turnout. "We're hoping to do a follow-up and make this an annual event. We'll have vendors, representatives from all of our schools, music." There will also be a dunk tank, popcorn, cotton candy and a DJ along with performances from the JCHS J-Steppers and JCHS Marching Band.
Eggleston said it will give the District an opportunity to welcome the new school year on a high and positive note.
