Each classroom was able visit the Cardinal dugout and get their picture taken.

Most had never heard a dial tone before.

The Undivided Club founded by Kennadi Bizaillion.
“It is the overall focus of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The thought of feeling left out, unwelcomed, unloved, etc. is devastating and I am striving to bring awareness into the hands of JCHS and allow students to feel unconditionally welcomed.
The inherent need for each and every student to feel like they belong and have a place to call home “home” and feel accepted is becoming more and more clear. I have found a desire and passion for this, and my goal is for other students to do the same and I am working hard to make mindfulness of this very needed organization.
I want everyone to know they are surrounded by love.”
Pictured is the initial meeting held during Panther Time, which resulted in a packed room. New members worked to make bracelets that will be distributed later this week.
