CJHS spent the day with activities full of holiday spirit. We began in the gym with our PBIS assembly, where five students were selected for prizes for meeting our quarterly PBIS goal of no failing grades. Over 90% of our students hit the goal! That is great news!
Teachers and students then participated in our annual Reindeer Games, hallway bingo, and a movie plex to close out the day.
We want to wish everyone a restful and enjoyable Christmas break and Happy Holidays!
