To the CJP Community
Our teachers and students have been hard at work, engaged in their ongoing classroom curriculum while also preparing for our exciting musical/drama performance on May 27 at 10:30 AM. Parents are warmly invited to attend - we anticipate the performance will last approximately one hour. In addition, we are thrilled to host the School Council & Parents Association Speaker event with Connie Jakab on May 21st at 6:20 PM, as well as our Kindergarten Orientation evening on May 22 at 6:00 PM. It’s a busy and exciting time at CJP, and we deeply appreciate the continued support and involvement from our families as we create a vibrant learning community.
