Off to a Great Start!!!

Welcome Back - We are really off to a great start to the school year. We have alot of new faces and are welcoming back old friends. While I miss our graduates, I am excited to come to school every day and watch everyone busy and learning in classes. Our student of the week this week is Josh Stevens. Josh set a record this week for the most purple sheets ever received by a student at JCTS. Congratulations, Josh!

Welcome BBQ

We had a great time at the BBQ tonight. We had a big crowd of returning students, new students, and many, many family members. We had burgers, hot dogs, and all the fixings. Two lucky winners went home with a brand new ipod! Everyone got a t-shirt, and a bookbag with goodies inside. We are off to an exciting start. If you missed it, make sure to check in with us to find out when the next event will take place. I hope to see you there.

Get Ready!!!

It's almost time for school! We are getting ready here for the new school year. I hope all of our students and their families are excited for a new beginning. We are having our Welcome BBQ on September 3rd at 6:00 and we are looking forward to seeing you there.
We are making some changes this year that will make JCTS better than ever. We are all excitedly anticipating the first day of school - see you then.

Happenings

There are great things happening at JCTS.

This year, Jeniffer Montano won an essay contest sponsored by the NYC Department of Education, and went to South Africa for a week and met Nelson Mandela! She had a great time and we are so proud of her.

We got a $35,000 grant from the City Council to purchase SmartBoards. They are fantastic and we are looking forward to using them in classes in the fall.

In the spring, 25 students went on a 2-day trip and visited several colleges upstate. They had a great time and a couple of them received acceptance letters on the spot at the college of their choice!

We are also very proud of Kendall, who graduated from college in June - Congratulations!

These are just a few of the things happening at JCTS - check back again for more news and upcoming events.

Summer Time is Planning Time!

You may think school is out, but we are hard at work making plans for the fall! We will be growing to 150 young people and we are getting ready to welcome both returning and new students alike. We are working on many fun and exciting activities to take us through the school year. Check back for the exciting details!

What a happy day. This was taken in the lobby before the ceremony began.

Graduation

We held graduation in the Music Room at Lehman College. It was a beautiful day and look at how pretty the stage looked.
