JH-HS Study Hall Changes
TCJA is still providing a no-charge, after-school study hall on regular school days, Monday –Thursday, until 5:10pm. There is a charge of $1 per 5 minutes for students staying beyond that time, however, as teachers have other commitments to get to, as well. Students have responded well to the new format which includes a number of new guidelines:
· Students log in and log out.
· Cell phones and personal music devices are to be checked in at the door.
· Students are expected to be completing homework first. When all caught up with school work, they may read, puzzle, or use their personal computers.
· Students are expected to respect the study needs of others.
K and Pre-K Parent Program
March 6, at 6:30 pm, TCJA will be hosting a dinner at the Small World Learning Center for parents. Mr. Oucharek, Mrs. Canaday, and Mrs. Villarreal will be presenting a program outlining plans for next school year as we deal with the potential influx of 1st grade students. Parents (and children) are invited out to eat together and to talk about how we envision serving the needs of our growing school community.
Box Tops Report
It might not seem like much, but clipping box tops has amounted to a chunk of change for the Home and School Association to use. The box tops that you brought in, netted us $160. We will send in another raft of box tops at the end of May, so keep bringing them in… It isn’t often you can get rewarded for something you would normally throw away.
7-10 Class Scramble
This Saturday evening from 6:30 to 9:00 the ASB will be hosting a class scramble. There are prizes for many things, including the class that wears the most of their color for the evening (7=green, 8=purple, 9=black, 10=hot pink). While siblings and parents are welcome to come out, watch, and cheer, the games are restricted to TCJA 7th through 10th graders. It will be as good a time as the support it receives.

But they that wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Riddle… wanna hat?
Drew was the first to bring in last week’s answer. This week, here’s the question…
Those people who make this stuff want nothing to do with it. Nobody wants this stuff, but some people will get it anyway – of course, they have no idea at the time that they have it. When anyone realizes they have this stuff, they want no part of it.
What is this stuff?
