HAPPY NEW YEAR!

In an abundance of caution, we have decided to make our January 11th program day VIRTUAL. See details below.

CLASS OF 2023 - 8:30 am - 12:00 pm - ZOOM LINK

CLASS OF 2022 - 11:00 am - 3:00 pm - ZOOM LINK

As usual, you will be excused from school to attend the program day. Please arrive on time and have your video on/sound off unless asking questions, so the speakers actually have people to speak to.

Lynne Riley, President Georgia Student Finance Commission

Special Guest Speaker, All Parents are Invited to Attend

We are fortunate to have Ms. Lynne Riley, President of the Georgia Student Finance Commission as our guest during the January 11th program day. She will share valuable information about college financing through grants, loans and scholarships. There will be a Questions and Answers segment at the end. All parents are invited to attend this very special session.

This session will be held from 11 am - 12 pm and all students from both classes will be attending. Once complete, the class of 2023 will sign off and we will continue the program day for the class of 2022.

SUPPORT SLJC GROUP - BUY A SUPPORT DOG!

Student Leadership Johns Creek, in partnership with the Johns Creek Public Safety Foundation, have come together to fundraise for firefighters and police officers hurt in the line of duty

In late 2021, Student Leadership Johns Creek (SLJC) hosted two fundraisers, one at the Johns Creek Halloween’s Trunk or Treat and one at the Christmas Tree and Dreidel Lighting at Newton Park. 100% of the proceeds raised from these events go towards the Johns Creek Public Safety Foundation, and are used to directly aid injured firefighters and police officers.

The students in Student Leadership Johns Creek helped raise this money by selling stuffed animals named K-9 Dano and Hero. K-9 Dano served from February 2009 to January 2017, and passed on May 26, 2019. He is one the first JCPD Canine officers. Hero is dedicated by the JCFD to remember the heroic men and women who bravely sacrificed their lives to help those in need on 9-11-2001.

So far, SLJC has raised nearly $1,200 from these two events. Additionally, the group is currently working on revamping the website for the foundation and establishing a social media presence. The new Instagram account for the foundation is @jcpublicsafetyfoundation. They are also working on selling the dogs at local stores and other locations to expand reach and create a more permanent plan to sell the stuffed animals.

The SLJC group includes Ava Sun, Ansh Shah, Jeremy McWhirter, Brian Woo, Connor McIlhinney, Sanaa Khan, and Meghana Malempati from Johns Creek High School. These students along with SLJC Executive Director Irene Sanders and the Chairman of Johns Creek Public Safety Foundation Steve Broadbent are all contributing to lead this project into a new and efficient plan for future fundraisers.

These dogs can be purchased at https://jcpublicsafetyfoundation.org/ . If you have an event or location where SLJC and the Johns Creek Public Safety Foundation can sell their firefighter and police officer stuffed animals, please contact: heroanddano@jcpublicsafetyfoundation.org
