The JH Student Council greeted students as they came back upstairs for class after lunch was over. As they greeted them, they also shared an affirmation with them saying, "You're a star!" and gave them a Starburst candy to kick start their afternoon!

Our JH Student Council members have been selected: Grayson Calhoun, Krae Kroon, Casey Kvaal, Coretta Olmstead, Bella Diaz-Kulczewski, Aliviana Reed, Kyrie Porter, Bella Lariviere, Ella Crum, and Alice Branan. These students are ready to grow as leaders and serve those around them to create an another amazing school year together!

8th Graders presented to their peers today to share about their September reading books and to commit to a CKH Leadership Goal that they created for themselves. Students did a great job sharing about their books, and we are excited to see them self-reflect on how their goals are going in the coming weeks!
