Winter at the Junior High

Coughing, sneezing, fever, headaches... No, this is not a list of symptoms for an over-the-counter cold medicine. These are the constant complaints and sounds coming from the clinic. Despite the veil of sickness hanging over the junior high right now, there is a lot going on!
Student council just wrapped up a food drive in each homeroom. Over 400 items were collected and donated to a local food bank. Mrs. Collins class won the contest with their contribution of over 100 cans! The prize was cold, hard, cash$$$ The generosity did not end there, the winning homeroom actually voted to donate the prize money. Congratulations to Mrs. Collins class and thank you for your kindness and generosity.
This Thursday will be pajama day. So everyone should come in their best pjs, jammies, comfies, or whatever else you might call them! That should be a relaxing day!
Friday is the big day, the last day before a well deserved break for our students. The High School Jazz Band will be performing for us in the morning. In the afternoon, we will end the day with a movie for everyone. I look forward to seeing all of the ugly holiday sweaters and Santa hats. It should be a fun day!
When we get back to school, there is only 3 weeks left until the end of the grading period and the end of 1st semester!
 Enjoy your two weeks off, stay healthy, and I look forward to seeing everyone in 2015!
