Help Us Celebrate Our Staff at Newark Junior High School

May 5th-9th the Cougar Parent Club at Newark Junior High School will be celebrating Staff appreciation week.

While there are some surprises in store for the staff I will list a few, something to quench the thirst with an uplifting message, a local massage business is donating two employees for the afternoon.

Massuses willΒ be giving ten minute massages. Dino's, is providing lunch for all 75 staff. Wednesday morning breakfast will beΒ arranged by CPC with donations from Grocery outlet, donut shop next to GO, food from Safeway.

There has been such a wonderful outpouring of generosity for these often overlooked staff that make such a wonderful contribution to our community. They have our kids for two short years and yet the rocketry club is once again competing on a national level. Amazing!

There is one more item we would like to provide, perhaps you can help. Starbucks coffee gift cards. For each staff to get a $10 gift.

Please send your donations to the NJHS please mark attention staff appreciation. As Gandi said so long ago, "Be the change you want to see." Thank you for all you do. D. Sawyer
