JUNIOR HIGH EVENT UPDATE/SAVE THE DATE The Junior High Community Club (JHCC) is planning an awesome event just for 7th and 8th graders. Please block out 4:30pm - 6:00pm on Tuesday, February 24, 2026! Right now, we are a very small group of kids trying to do a very big job. We could certainly use more student helpers! JHCC meets during lunch once per week.
