All Saints Day 2019

Happy November!

While our week was somewhat interrupted by our Professional Day, we concluded our week together with the fun and excitement that comes from celebrating the saints! Today our school community focused on celebrating the holy men and women who persevered in our faith to experience the full unity with Christ in heaven! Sainthood is attainable ! A tremendous amount of gratitude is extended to Barbara Periera and Melissa Maldonado for "taking the reins" this year in executing this very popular school tradition. Thanks to all of our "trunkers" and parent volunteers who "worked behind the scenes" to offer a wonderful experience and treats to our students!

Thanks for another great week!

God bless and have a wonderful weekend~

NJHS Can Drive continues......

NJHS members hope to round out the inventory from your initial can donations for the St. Francis SVDP Food Pantry so that each basket made for a family-in-need has a variety of useful Thanksgiving holiday items to use. As you are out shopping this weekend, please consider grabbing a suggested item from the list below to help us assist the SVDP outreach as they provide for their many families this Thanksgiving! All items must be brought in to the school by Friday, Nov 8th. NJHS members look forward to helping make the baskets next weekend!

A Box Top Bonanza Starting NOW!

Boxtops are EASY MONEY! Each top is worth 10 cents, which adds up fairly quickly!

Worth mentioning : One last step when setting up the Box Top app. There is a “Credit” button in the app after you scan the receipt where you need to type the student's grade (Preschool 4 parents please use 'PC' or 'PD").

We sent home one Box Top sheet per family in an effort to save paper. Please let us know if you need additional sheets.

Attention all students (most especially our middle school students!)

What does this mean, you ask?

Shorts will no longer be worn by boys, and middle school dress uniform will now include the sweater vest or sweater! As always, sweatshirts are not to be worn in the classrooms (with the exception of gym days), so please plan accordingly for the cooler temps by making certain you have long sleeved shirts or a sweater.
