Be Respectful, Be Excellent, Be Accepting, Be a Leader

 

This is a B Day.

  

ALL GRADES:

Thanks to all those who applied to become members of NJHS. Teachers and the NJHS committee will be reviewing applications and in April you will be receiving a letter advising you as to whether or not your application was accepted.   For those accepted, an induction ceremony will be held in late April.

 

Did you know that, "In 2009, American families drove 30 billion miles and made 6.5 billion vehicle trips to take their children to and from schools, representing 10-14 percent of traffic on the road during the morning commute?"  That's a lot of driving!  Do you want to learn more about riding your bike to school?  Euclid is going to have a cycling club!  Our first meeting will be in the gym on Tuesday, March 12.  More information to come!

 

Don't forget that Mr. Richardson or Mr. Thelen will be in the library on Thursday after school for a HW Help! session.  They look forward to seeing you there.

 

NJHS is doing a supply drive for an orphanage in Juarez, Mexico called Tree of Life.  It will be taking place next week February 26-28.  We will be collecting simple things like toiletries and school supplies in one of your core classrooms. 

8th grade: 4th period  

7th grade: 6th period  

6th grade: 6th period 

The core in each grade that collect the most items get a cookie party!  Thanks for your support.
