DANCE CAMP

Don't forget - the registration deadline for the JA Dance Camp is this Friday.

THANK YOU!

Thank you to all the JA Band members for their hard work all year. The Band contributed to the JA spirit on campus and represented JA admirably at events throughout the year.


Thanks to Hope Burford for organizing the banquet last week, which was a wonderful opportunity to recognize our hard-working students as well as to provide a chance for our families to get together. A few more photos are posted to the PHOTO GALLERY, also linked in the menu bar above, with thanks to Hope Burford.
