Great news!!! Our school just received two new bottle fillers as a part of the H2O on the Go grant from the Delta Dental Foundation of Illinois and Illinois Children's Healthcare Foundation. The purpose of the grant is to prevent tooth decay, which is the leading chronic disease among children. The water bottle-filling stations encourage consumption, helping lessen tooth decay, aiding in reducing obesity, increasing energy levels and improving students’ attention span and ability to learn. As a part of the grant, each student had the opportunity to get a Green Reusable Bottle and a toothbrush. As you can see from one of the photos, one student took the opportunity to use the new toothbrush. It was great to see how many students were using the water bottle and one student simply said, "The bottle and the bottle filler makes drinking water so convenient."

If students need to get them retaken, they need to return the old picture that day. Again, it is very important that every student has a picture taken for Skyward and also for the yearbook.

Have you purchased Chromebook insurance yet? There were two Chromebooks within the last week with broken screens, which will cost $100 each because they did not have insurance. The new touch screens will cost even more. The open enrollment period for the Chromebook insurance closes on October 17th. You can purchase the insurance online at schooldevicecoverage.com or pick up a paper order form at the school. Either way, make sure you have your child's Chromebook serial number available. It is usually listed on the back next to SN. Good vision or a magnifying glass will help. Reach out to the school with any questions you may have.
MCJHS students have an opportunity to be awarded a $500 Principal's Excellence Award at the end of the school year! Packets to apply for the award are in the Guidance Office. The deadline to REGISTER is October 7, 2022. Volunteer Logs are due April 28, 2023. Please contact Mrs. Morris with any questions.
