📢 The Buy-One-Get-One FREE Book Fair is happening right now at the CLJMS Library. We’re open every day this week immediately after school—don't miss out on the best deal of the year!
The middle school track meet will resume at approximately 5:50pm as this accounts for 30 minutes after the last lightning strike in range.
The middle school track meet is currently in a lighting/weather delay. Stay tuned for information about when or if we can resume the meet.
The CLJMS library will be hosting one more book fair this year, April 20th-23rd. This is a BOGO book fair, a great time for students to stock up on summer reads. Check it our before or after school next week!

February has been such a FUN and exciting month for our CLJ Circle of Friends group! ❤️
Check out this fun obstacle course that was created by our peers. Everyone was paired up and hooked together, which meant they had to communicate, cooperate, and work as a team to make it through each challenge. There were lots of laughs, encouragement, and teamwork along the way. What a fun and memorable experience for everyone involved!
