Joppa Jr/Sr High is not affected by this order. Water coolers and cups are provided for the students, or you can bring a water bottle from home.

ALUMNI GIVING BACK -
Unexpected acts of kindness bring joy to district employees and students. It is truly a wonderful blessing for previous Joppa students and community members to “Give Back” to the teachers and the school district that contributed to their education. Helping your community is an opportunity for each of us to grow as a person, to help others in need, and it is a rewarding experience. Recent graduates, Carly (Peck) Jones and Emily Reames along with Amy Little helped to organize a way for people to support teachers and students by providing extra school supplies. Businesses such as Sonic and Country Companies also stepped in to show their support. The contributions were made with love and kindness and are greatly appreciated.
