Knowledge Is Power By: Stein Anzjon III
While some sports and clubs are based on strength or speed, the Jasper Scholar Bowl, sponsored by Ms. Jamie Richey, is based on knowledge. Team members start out by answering questions in a format similar to Jeopardy! to earn points with every right answer. Teams accumulate points and the team with the most at the completion of the match wins. The team competes in several matches throughout the season, finishing with the WEMO Conference Tournament and the District Tournament.
Groups Join Forces For Worthy Cause By: Liam Connor
The Jasper FCA held their annual Operation Christmas Child event last week, where they packed a total of eighty-five gift boxes for kids across the world. Unlike in the United States, there are thousands of kids from all around the world that may only receive one box their entire life, so every single box that is made is very special. Several students, faculty, and other members of the Jasper community volunteered their time to help pack these boxes full of different clothing, hygiene products, coloring books and utensils, awesome toys, and a personalized note left in the box for kids in need. They also purchased and brought gifts and clothing for the boxes, and even provided food for all of the volunteers. Both of the High School boys and girls basketball teams also participated in the event along with the Jasper FBLA, who also provided food for everyone. It was a great night and we are so thankful for everyone who showed up and packed boxes for kids all across the world.
NHS Stays Busy With Service Projects By: Dylan Storm
One of the virtues of the National Honor Society is to provide service for not only our school, but our community. On November 9th, the NHS members hosted their annual teacher appreciation breakfast, where they cooked and served the faculty and staff of the entire Jasper R-V School District. The breakfast consisted of several different things including bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, muffins, fruits, and breakfast casseroles, which the students themselves cooked.
The NHS members will be traveling to the Carthage Walmart on December 1st to ring bells. The money that is raised during the period of time they are there will be donated to the Salvation Army. They will be ringing bells from 10:00am to 2:00pm. These shifts will consist of four, thirty minute shifts, with a thirty minute break in between each shift.
Each year the Jasper National Honor Society, who is led by sponsor Mr. Daniel Osborne, strives to provide service for our school and throughout our community. This year has begun to be a successful year for the NHS. Through all the hard work and different projects it has shown that it is well worth your time to be in the National Honor Society.

Back To Back Champions By: Liam Connor
Is this the most dominant team in Jasper history? The Volleyball team stood almost perfect in the regular season; one of the first times this has happened in our sports. The Eagle’s were led by seniors Livia Dumm, Laney Cawyer, and Taylor Hinds. The girls capped off the regular season with a 32-1-1 record and they also captured a district championship against Liberal, defeating them in 3 sets in dominating fashion. This season was an amazing improvement from last year and the entire team showed drastic steps forward in their overall gameplay. Following districts, the team continued their strong play in sectionals, defeating Archie in 3 sets. The Lady Eagles came up a little short in the state quarterfinal game, falling to Galena in a hard-fought 5-set battle.
Overall their final record was 35-2-1, three tournament championships, back to back district championship, and a sectional championship. Post-season honors went to Crystal Smith, Livia Dumm, and Shiloh Storm making the All-District 1st team, and Laney Cawyer and Alivea Roberts being named to the All-District 2nd team. Livia Dumm and Shiloh Storm also made All-Conference 2nd team, while Crystal Smith was on All-Conference 1st team in addition to winning Player of the Year. This was an amazing season to watch and we’re so proud of all the girls accomplished. It was awesome to see them dominate and we hope they can do it again next year.
