Congrats to Frank, Carson, and Rebbeca for their outstanding performance at the State Economics Challenge today. They finished 2nd place in the western region!

Not all heroes wear capes, but Mr. Rowse could definitely use one to get down after his weekly search for stray recess balls. We would like to thank him for all he does at CLJMS. Happy Assistant Principal's Day!

🎺 These 5th grade band members reached Black Belt status in Band Karate this week! All 5th grade band students perform playing quizzes of songs in their books and we keep track of their progress using a system similar to karate belts. Each belt has 3 songs they must play to earn it. Congratulations to these students for getting all 27 songs done. The rest of the band will finish up in the next couple weeks! 🥁
