CJ Parent Weekly

October 22, 2015

This Friday and Saturday, more than 140 CJ students, faculty and staff will be participating in the annual Join Hands Miami Valley. Students should have received their placement site earlier this week.

Freshmen and sophomores can count this toward their religion service requirement and juniors and seniors can count the hours toward their total service hours on their report cards. If students have not done so already, they should bring their signed permission slips to their service site.

We are excited to join many other Dayton area organizations in providing service during this weekend, which is part of United Way's "Make a Difference Day."
