Dear
KJHS Families:
We are entering our final quarter for the 2009-2010 school year. Spring break
will begin Monday, March 22. School will
resume on Monday, March 29. Friday,
April 2 is a board holiday, so there will be no school.
On
Friday, March 19, the IT Department will begin
moving all Unit 5 websites to a new server. This ‘migration’ will start Friday
afternoon, March 19, and will continue through March 29 (scheduled
spring break). The district website (www.unit5.org) along with individual school and staff web sites may be
unavailable at times during this period. A new website letter for KJHS will be posted
again on Monday, March 29.
Congratulations
to our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students and Chris Golick
for excellent performances last Tuesday night at their Unit Concert in NCHS
gym. It was amazing to see all 700
orchestra students in the district perform “Ode to Joy” at the same time!
Congratulations to four KJHS students who participated in the IESA
State Wrestling Tournament in DeKalb this weekend. The four students who represented KJHS were Stuart Chestney, Ethan Mitchell, Brock Danko,
and DJ Frank. We are proud of their
efforts!
Congratulations
to Coach Martinez and his assistants for their work with our wrestling program
this year!
Congratulations
to our KJHS Jazz Band and their director, Kirby Reese, on their performance
Friday evening at NCWHS as part of the “Crossroads to Jazz” program.
ISAT
tests are boxed up and ready to mail off for scoring. Just to give you an idea of the volume of
testing at KJHS, we had 41 boxes of testing materials to send back. Thank you to our counselors, Tim Penhollow and Linda Shipman, for their tremendous effort in
working with all of the ISAT testing at KJHS this year!
Please
continue to look at the clothing your students are wearing to school. We are seeing extremely short shorts that are
not appropriate for the learning environment.
We also continue to have to address the issue of girls’ shirts that are
too low in the front. Please help us by
monitoring what your child wears to school.
Congratulations to the 8th grade girls’ volleyball team and their
coach, Keith Rice, who beat the number one seed, Bloomington Junior High, in
three intense games Thursday evening to move on to the sectional at CJHS on
Monday at 6:00 p.m. Come out to support our girls in their effort to advance to
the state tournament next weekend.
Thank
you to everyone who came out to support the KJHS IMC in their Book Fair at
Barnes and Noble on Saturday. Remember
that you may continue to shop online until March 18 using our Book Fair number.
Don’t
forget to come out to support the Unit Choir Concert at Eastview
Christian Church on Monday evening, March 15, at 7:00 p.m.
Have
a great week! As always, please contact
me if you have further questions, concerns, or compliments. mehalllh@unit5.org.
Sincerely,
Dr.
Lynette Mehall
