Mission: READ

Many apologies for severely neglecting the blog as this school year started (cringe)

But Teen Read Week is an awesome reason to write. Here’s what we’re doing at CJHS to celebrate the theme LOL–Laughing Out Loud!

• Loads of funny books on display 
• Old-school Looney Toons playing on the SMARTBoard in the am
• Second annual TRW coloring contest–yes, Ben and Jerry’s during Friday’s lunch to two winners from each grade again
• Hunger is No Laughing Matter Food Drive Challenge! What could be better than helping the hungry, getting a chance to win an iPod, and crushing KJHS and PJHS? Hard to think of anything…

12/7/06 was the launch date for the first ever Game On! @ CJHS IMC.

Study hall students entered a random drawing to visit the IMC to play a variety of games like Uno Attack, Pictionary, Tetris, Clue and more!

A good time was had by twenty students each hour (check out our slide show), and we’re planning for a new Game On! every month.
