NJHS Tab Time
NJHS would like to thank the parents and teachers who participated in our annual Ronald McDonald House tab collection. Students gathered thousands of tabs to donate to RMDH who in turn recycles the tabs and uses the money to purchase supplies for the house. It’s great to see kids giving back to the community!

CAFETERIA CLEANLINESS COMPETITION
Last week we completed the most recent “Cafeteria Cleanliness” competition. Results are in and “A” lunch came in 1st place with a whopping 89 points! This is the highest point total any lunch has received this year. “C” lunch came in 2nd place with 80 points followed by “B” lunch with 77 points. Since both “A” and “C” lunch exceeded 80 points, students in those lunches will be allowed to use their electronic devices during lunch for the week. “B” lunch will be normal with no electronic devices allowed. Overall, all of the lunches did a much better job keeping the cafeteria clean. Thank you!
CAFETERIA HELPERS OF THE WEEK
Janice Kankolongo for A lunch
Nathaniel McWhirt for B lunch

APRIL STUDENTS OF THE MONTH
Penelopi Yiantsou
Penelopi is a diligent, thoughtful student who always works hard. Her positivity and consistency is refreshing, and she is a great role model for her peers.
Brendan Price
Brendan is just a joy to have in class. He is a very courteous student, always holds the door open for other people, says hello and is always willing to help both teachers and students. Brendan goes out of his way to make sure all students are included in activities. He has never met a person he does not consider a friend. In class Brendan gives nothing less than 100% everyday. His enthusiasm for wanting to learn inspires me as a teacher.

He always finishes his work on time and when he is done he will always ask the teacher if there is any other work he can do. Trevor gets along with all his peers and is always respectful and helpful to teachers.
