Career Speaker Month: Each Friday throughout the month of February, we will have different professionals present their career paths to our students during the students' lunch period. The students will sign up for their choice of speakers during their Social Studies classes this week.

CJSF

CJSF Membership:  The California Junior Scholarship Federation is a state-wide organization that works to promote high standards of scholarship, service, and citizenship.  Membership in CJSF is an excellent addition to future college applications or included in a resume for employment.  Cost is $1.00.  All members will receive a membership card.

 The process is easy and involves a simple scoring procedure.  Assign points to the A’s and B’s you’ve earned on the first semester report card, which will be issued February 5, 2010.  P.E., the only exception, receives no points.  A’s = 3 points.  B’s = 1 point.  C’s do not count.  D or F in any class at the semester disqualifies you.  If you are in advanced Math or advanced English with an A or B, you may add an additional 1 point for each class.  10 points are required, and you must list all classes, even PE.   

CJSF HUHN AWARD:  Recognizes junior high school students for their academic excellence and service to the school and community.  In order to qualify, student must be a CJSF member and qualifying students need to submit an application no later than February 18, 2010.  Students submit a packet including letters of recommendation and a personal statement.

Each chapter can nominate their top two students, and five students from each region receive a $250 award. In order to qualify to compete for the award, each candidate must attend the spring conference and participate in the Huhn break out session.  Each nominee will receive a Huhn award pin and a certificate.
