School Dance: Our first annual school dance was a HUGE success. The students had a tremendous time! I want to thank every single person who donated items and volunteered in any way to make the concessions run smoothly. You all are incredible! Our program ended up gaining a almost $900 off of one night of fundraising. I am excited for our students to benefit from the funds raised this past Friday. Congratulations to you!

Congratulations to those of you who are continuing on to high school band! I am proud of you!

Good evening,

I would like to recap what I went over with our students today in class. Our band is in charge of concessions at the school dance. As we usually have done in the past, I am asking band members to donate certain items for the dance. The band will purchase candy, gatorade, and pizza while the band members will donate sodas and chips. Below are the requirements. Each student knows which of the two categories that they fall into.

Sodas:

(1-2) 12 pack of either Coke, Sprite or Dr. Pepper

(1-2) 2-Liter bottles of Coke, Sprite or Dr. Pepper

Chips: One variety pack of chips of your choice. These chips are the size of chips that you would get as a side at a sandwich shop.

We are aiming to sell these items conveniently at the dance and quickly which is why this size is a perfect size for us.

If you would like to volunteer to work the concession stand or to help with set up/tear down please fill out the form below. 

School dance is April 27th from 6-9. Set up volunteers are asked to show up at 4:30 and tear down volunteers may be asked to stay until 10:00PM. Concessions will show up around 5:00.

Good evening,

Let me begin by reminding you of the final payment for our 8th grade Carowinds trip that is due tomorrow! We now have it set up on Revtrak so that you can pay the exact amount instead of $50 increments!

Use the link below and click on “Carowinds Trip Final Balance”. Hopefully that will stay up for the next years so that it is less of a pain. Thank you again for your patience with the online payment system.

Exciting News:

Our Jazz Band has been asked to perform at the Awards Night on April 30th at the Mabry Arts Center. I am waiting on specific times for the kids to report but this will be an incredible opportunity for our band to be represented to the entire CJHS community!
