We took a break from all subjects for a while to paint pumpkins. Why did we do this, you ask? What better way is there to learn about how the continents are situated around the globe than to create your own…on a pumpkin!!
Tomorrow at CJHS will be $1 Hat Day! Any student who pays $1 is allowed to wear a hat during the school day. Please make sure the hats brought to school are appropriate for the school environment.
