Have you ever wondered what job shadowing is or wished you could job shadow someone? We are excited that our 7th graders have this opportunity on Friday, February 8.
Each 7th grader should have received the paperwork in their College and Career Awareness class. This needs to be returned to your teacher. If you need a paper please see your College and Career Awareness teacher. Job Shadow is a great way to get a career experience!

Stem Club is starting today after school and will focus on Code Breaking and will run every Wednesday at 3:00. Each different session will have a different focus on activities that use STEM related skills and concepts. Some potential classes that might be taught are 3D printing, Drones, Scratch and so on.
Mrs. Palestino will be teaching the course in her classroom in room 111. The fee for the club is only $10 which you or your student can pay at the financial office. This will be a great club that will develop skills that are highly sought after in STEM related fields.
Students in Drawing 1 today had a hands-on lesson about the history of drawing and the purpose it has always served people. The goal of the lesson is to demonstrate the important role that art and drawing have played in human history. This is a foundational lesson that Mr. Shaffer uses to set the tone and expectation for his new classes this semester. Kids get to have fun and learn something new while exercising their creativity.
Last Thursday, students here at SaJHS had a special speaker come to our school to talk to them about mental health and the importance of stepping away from their phones and making real connections with people. He encouraged them to talk to people and interact with their peers more often. In support of that, our counseling office organized a campaign for this week called Take a SELFIE.
