From FCUSD 168: The fire alarm went off at Central Junior High School this morning. Students were temporarily moved to FIS. The West Frankfort Fire Department has inspected the scene and declared it all clear. Students are returning to CJHS for their regular school day.

Today was a big day for Ms. Willmore's 5th grade class! Shark Tank Presentation Day! Each group did a wonderful job presenting their inventions to the sharks! They all ended up negotiating a deal! Great job 5th grade! Also a huge thank you to the volunteers that made this project so successful!
