Good afternoon! We hope you all have had a productive week working with both your children and with your personal new year's goals! Now is about the time when resolutions go out the window, so remain focused on what it is you want to accomplish and on taking the actions necessary to meet those objectives! There is no limit on the amount of times one can restart, and remember that any progress is indeed progress, and nothing worth doing is easy or happens overnight! This is something we stress with the students, but it applies to us all as parents as well!
Below are a few notes from the week:
1. Congratulations to 8th grade student athlete Kayla Lewandowski on scoring her 300th career point as a JK Lady Knight basketball player! Thank you to Coaches Macaro and Iasparro for their leadership of both the team, and Kayla the scoring machine!
2. Our next round of MAP assessments will begin on February 3rd.
3. It is hard to believe that the end of the second marking period is approaching so quickly! Marking period 2, and Semester 1 grades will be available in Genesis on Thursday, February 6th.
4. Thank you all for your generous help with the Leukemia Lymphoma Society cancer research fundraiser taking place with the help of our Joyce Kilmer Student Council, and JK alumni, St. Thomas Aquinas senior Brianna Romero. Brianna shared a recent update, and between Milltown, and the other sponsorships that her, and her partner, Spotswood resident Grace Pucci have secured, they are nearing the 10K mark! THANK YOU!
5. The JK Student Council will be conducting a separate fundraising effort to specifically benefit local families affected by cancer at the January 24th home boys' basketball game. We are thrilled at the community and assistance minded nature of our leadership organizations here at JK!
6. This past week, we celebrated our JK KNIGHTS OF THE MONTH for the month of January! Congratulations to all those nominated and selected for this special honor!
We hope you all have a wonderful weekend with your families and friends! I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with your children, and the staff and administration here in MIlltown each and every day! Please take a few moments on Monday to reflect on the positive impact made by Dr. Martin Luther KIng Jr, the reason for the holiday!
