We Are At War...Penny War That Is



Hello Family!

Thank you for all you have done for the JCIB PG Campus family this year.

Our teachers have identified Chromebooks and classroom supplies as a need this year.  A 2018 Washington Post article stated that nearly all public school teachers report spending personal funds for school supplies. On average they spent nearly $480 a year, far more than the federal $250 tax deduction available to teachers.

Please help us support our teachers by participating in the penny war.  While you are out shopping this weekend and next week, save your change and send it to the school for the penny war. Every little bit counts. If you don't have coins, dollars and checks are also accepted.

Laura eventually spent 30 days in a residential treatment program, but the drugs were stronger than she was, and she relapsed and started taking heroin again. In the end, Laura overdosed on a mixture of the opioid morphine, alcohol, and cocaine when she was just 17. This is an example of drug use progression. At the same age as some of our children, Laura started experimenting with drugs and alcohol....

The Importance of Extracurricular Activities

Hi Family, School is in and we are getting into our study and homework routines.  Our children are learning.  The teachers are teaching.  The classroom routines are well on the way.  What more could there be?  Well, there are the extracurricular activities offered through the school.  Are you on the fence about your child being involved in extracurricular activities?  Let's talk about the benefits. Cultural Integration Many new students can experience “culture shock” when they first arrive at JCIB PG Campus. It's literally a whole new world. Some are in a school far from home with new students and new teachers.  The teaching style may be very different from what they are accustomed to. Getting involved in extracurricular activities can help students overcome this sensation and allow them to intimately understand the culture at their new school in a way that the typical classroom environment may not provide. For example, joining a student g...
