Dear Parents and Guardians,

Students have been busy inside and outside the classrooms this past week!  Our band prepared a lovely concert for our listening pleasure, NJHS collected all the jeans that have come in for Teens for Jeans, and students donated and wore green in support of Cure Search.
 
We also came together as a school community for Stations of the Cross on Thursday.  On Monday, students in grades 2-8 participated in Lenten Reconciliation in the Church.  In preparation, students were asked to reflect on the Ten Commandments and if they treat others as they would want to be treated. 

Finally, congratulations to all our 8th graders who made their Confirmation this past weekend!  May the Holy Spirit continue to be your guide and inspiration as you seek to understand and follow God's plan.
Blessings!
