In this season of Advent we thank you Lord for the joy of Your forgiveness, for the assurance of Your love and for the blessings of our everyday lives. Those things which, all too often, we take for granted - our families and friends, the comfort of our homes, food, warm clothing, peace and prosperity and freedom to worship You as we want.
NJHS is Sponsoring a Food Drive to benefit Holy Cross Church's Food Pantry Dec 7th - Dec 17th. Middle and High School donations are to be delivered to your homeroom teacher. Thank you for your generosity and support.
Special Exam Announcements
1. Tuesday - Friday, Dec. 14-17, will be exam days for middle and high school students. ALL students will dismiss at 1:35 on these days.
2. Farm Basket will offer exam students the opportunity to have a substantial snack between exams while the elementary will follow a regular lunch schedule. Please follow the link to the left for the menu for next week.
3. No after school study hall will be available for athletes in the middle and high schools, so we ask parents to make appropriate arrangements for pick up on exam days. After school day care for younger students will remain available with Ms. Foster.
