Exciting News: Introducing A New Partnership with Journey12

Dear Neoga Students, Families, and Community Members,

I am excited to announce that Neoga CUSD #3 has entered into a new partnership with Journey12, an organization that specializes in helping public school districts share their stories and strengthen connections with the communities they serve. Through this partnership, we will launch a new district publication, with plans to publish two editions this school year: one in the winter and another in the spring.

These professionally produced publications will celebrate the incredible things happening throughout Neoga Schools, including student achievements, outstanding educators and staff, academic programs, athletics and extracurricular activities, community partnerships, and the people who make our district such a special place. One of the most exciting aspects of this partnership is the opportunity to reach beyond our current students and families. We want to share the Neoga Schools story with our entire community, including alumni, local businesses, and residents who may not currently have children attending our schools. We have so many great stories to tell, and we want to make sure those stories are being shared!

Beginning in December, representatives from Journey12 will visit our district to conduct interviews with students, staff, and community members. Each edition will feature approximately 12 stories, highlighting individuals and experiences that reflect the character, accomplishments, and spirit of Neoga Schools. As this partnership develops, we also encourage our students, families, and community members to share ideas for future stories. Whether it's a student achieving something remarkable, a teacher making a lasting impact, an innovative classroom project, a successful athletic or extracurricular program, or a meaningful community partnership, we want to hear about it!

Our hope is that this publication will be something our entire community looks forward to receiving. A publication that celebrates our accomplishments, shares our challenges and successes, and strengthens the connection between our schools and the people we serve. Most importantly, this publication is about OUR students, OUR staff, OUR families, and OUR community.

I am incredibly proud of Neoga Schools and the people who make our district what it is. I look forward to sharing our first edition with you this winter! To learn more about our new partner, visit https://www.journey12.com/.

Thank you for your continued support of Neoga Schools.
