CJ Parent Weekly

September 10, 2015

There are just two weeks left for your son or daughter to participate in the Patron Ad program!

The Patron Ad fee of $125, required for each student, supports CJ student activities, including athletics, drama, music, and student publications. Students can offset this fee by selling an advertisement or patron ad line that will be included in sports programs, yearbook, student newspaper, and performing arts programs. Contracts for potential

advertisers are available in the development office.

Several students have already paid the fee or secured their advertisement. For those who have not, we will send a postcard reminder about the Patron Ad fee due on Friday, Sept. 25. After that date , the fee increases to $175.

If you have any questions, please contact Katie Malloy, student account specialist, or Teresa Spanel '10, alumni relations coordinator.

Founders' Thoughts

"The good God will arrange it if it is His good pleasure. How good the good God is to use us to do His work."

" "What is a faithful man to do in the chaos of events which seem to swallow him up? He must sustain himself calmly by Faith. Faith will make him adore the eternal plan of God. Faith will assure him that to those who love God all things work together for good."
