Hello PCJH community,
As you know the coming season is a time for great joy and kindness around the world. We want to do our part as students and staff at PCJH to help spread the generosity and give back to those that are less fortunate. As a part of Mr. Sienza, Mrs. Zielinski, and Mrs. Ellena’s math classes, junior high students will be doing math problems to raise money for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. St. Jude’s never gives a bill to parents whose children are suffering, so all of their money is donated. Our goal is for each student is to raise $25-$50, and reach our overall goal of $4000 total. Any small part you can do to help would be great. We will be taking donations on our St. Jude’s student web pages starting Thursday, November 30 and it will run through Monday, December 18. Please ask one of the math teachers or students at the junior high and we will tell you what to do! Thank you for your time and your generosity.
