SHARK Award Eighth grade student Sandra Rayas is the February recipient of the middle school SHARK award. She was nominated for the Christian kindness and helpfulness she shows to both classmates and teachers. Sandra is always willing to help clean off the tables after middle school lunch. Before she is even asked to assist with organization or clean up, she takes the initiative to do it right away. Sandra is kind and respectful to adults and students alike, which fosters a positive atmosphere in the school. Sandra is an active member of the NJHS and maintains good grades in all of her courses. Congratulations and God s blessings to you, Sandra! Ash Wednesday Services Ash Wednesday services are Wednesday, March 6.

Our students in PreK-3-1st grade will only receive ashes if their parents are present and take them up to the front during that time. 2nd - 5th grade students will line up with their teachers and parents are welcome to join by standing next to their child. (If you do not want your child to participate, please his/her teacher.) Finally, students in middle and high school will receive the ashes individually at their own choosing.
