It's looking a lot like Christmas here at CJHS! The Houses have been working hard on their trees for a decorating competition that represents the quality of their house and their color. Here are a few that are on display in our main hallway.





Congratulations to our CJHS Papa John's Athletes of the Week - Jarren Spears and Aleigha Squibb. Both of these basketball players put in effort to excel and are really great kids! Go Redbirds!


Congratulations to our November ( very late) Students of the Month - 7th graders Joseph Brown and Hunter Pietrantoni and 8th graders Amaya Yocum and McCormick Tanner. These kids are hard workers! Way to go Redbirds!



Sending out a huge thank you to the Ronald McDonald House Charities for grant funds to benefit CJHS students. We are also very appreciative of the Moreland family and their proactiveness in soliciting funding for our hometown schools. There is nothing like hometown community! Go Redbirds!


Congratulations to our CJHS Papa John's Athletes of the Week - 8th graders Lucy Shimkus and Bentley Miller. These two students make us proud in their athletic skills, but especially since they are two of the nicest kids around! Go Redbirds!


CJHS will hold themed spirit days next week! Join in the fun as we prepare for Christmas break!

From District #168 - As we return from Thanksgiving on Monday morning, please take it slow as there is a chance for a dusting of snow. We expect that School WILL BE IN SESSION. Remember that IF we ever do cancel school, we will make a Phone Call, in addition to a Text, a Facebook Message, and will put it on local TV and Radio. Dress warm in the morning.

CJHS will dismiss at 2:27 today. Happy Thanksgiving!


Tom Freeman will be inducted into the Hall of Fame right before the start of the varsity game tonight.

Just a reminder- we already sent home permission slips for the CJHS movie trip scheduled for December 11. Students need to return their money and form by 12/4. There are opportunities for students to earn their admission fee. If your student needs a new form, they are available in the office.


Congrats to Bailey Neibch on signing to play volleyball at Rend Lake College. Way to go Bailey!! We are proud of you! #RedbirdPride

Attention CJHS parents - Midterm reports and an informational sheet with a permission slip for our December PBIS reward will be going home today.
We know that Junior High students always remember to bring home all their papers and always communicate very clearly with their parents, but we just thought we'd send you a little extra information today! :)
