iJAG Newsletter September/October 2023

Cardinal High School iJAG has started off the school year on a wonderful note. We currently have 41 students enrolled in the first semester. We started off the year with getting to know you/yourself activities. This was a great way for the students to get to know each other and learn some things that they might not have known before.
