Rejoice in the Easter

Blessings of Christ

Greetings!

Happy Easter 2011

While we look forward to celebrating the resurrection of Christ with family and friends, CJ offers this Easter prayer of rejuvenation as students, faculty and staff prepare to embark on the final six weeks of the 2010-2011 school year:

Lord,

the resurrection of Your Son

has given us new life and renewed hope.

Help us to live as new people

in pursuit of the Christian ideal.

Grant us wisdom to know what we must do,

the will to want to do it,

the courage to undertake it,

the perseverance to continue to do it,

and the strength to complete it.

Amen.

Happy Easter!

CJ's senior girls will take on the Alter Knights in our 2nd annual Powder Puff Game for Charity sponsored by the CJ Student Council. Admission to the game at West Carrollton Jr. High School (directions) is $2 for players, coaches, and spectators. Concessions will also be available.

Donate desserts or drinks to be sold at concessions for the game.
Attend the game on Saturday, May 7, pay an admission fee, and cheer the Eagles to victory!

Attention Parents of Freshmen

At CJ we expect students to have basic skills in keyboarding, formatting documents in Word, creating an Excel spreadsheet, and designing a PowerPoint presentation. Therefore, it is a requirement that students have experience using these essential tools. Students have two options to complete this requirement:

Take CJ's Computer Topics class during their careers at CJ, or
If students would rather have time in their schedules to take other elective classes, they may demonstrate proficiency in the above mentioned computer skills by passing four computer skills tests. Please note: this test-out option must be completed during a student's freshman year. After freshman year, the only option is to take the Computer Topics class.

Time is running out for freshmen to take the tests -- there are only two testing times remaining. The remaining testing times can be found at here at cjeagles.org.

After Thursday, April 28, students will be required to take the Computer Topics class if they have not passed all four tests.
