🐾❤️ A Special Visit from Mr. Kee & River! ❤️🐾

Former 2nd-grade teacher Mr. Kee and his beloved therapy dog River returned to Johnston City Schools this week for several special visits!

After spending time at Jefferson Elementary, the pair made a stop at Lincoln Elementary today. For many of our 3rd- and 4th-grade students, this was an extra-special reunion — they were once in Mr. Kee’s classroom and saw River every day.

We’re so grateful to Mr. Kee and River for continuing to share their time, comfort, and smiles with our students!

Special meeting sept 2025
Today marks 24 years since the tragic September 11th attacks, a day that Americans will forever remember. We're reflecting on how our JCHS students honored the victims and demonstrated acts of patriotism back in 2001.

At that time, students crafted and sold red, white, and blue ribbons, bracelets, and keychains as part of a fundraiser. In total, they raised over $1,000, which was donated to the American Red Cross.

Additionally, our JCHS students gathered at the high school's flagpole to pray for the victims and painted a mural featuring red, white, and blue artwork.

Our goal at Lincoln Elementary this year is to maintain an average attendance rate of 95% or higher.

In the month of August, we made that goal, and Ms. McCoy's class had the best percentage at 99.3%. Those students were rewarded with a special treat.

We look at this each month, and the class with the highest attendance rate receives a snack! Keep up the good work, Lincoln parents and students!

We’d love to hear from you! If you attended Johnston City Schools in 3rd grade, who was your teacher? Share your memories in the comments below!
