HJHS! What better way is there to end the day before Spring Break than with some friendly competition. Today's "Positive Connections" Class Games was a blast and full of students working together, communicating, supporting each other and simply having fun together. It's great to see the students supporting each other in such a positive way! Thank you HJHS Student Council for planning and organizing these fantastic games. Reminder: No School Next Week--March 14th-18th. Happy Spring Break to All!
