Carlyle Jr. High School

The Carlyle Jr. High School Pajama Program and Carlyle FFA are asking for the community’s help with the school’s annual Pajama Drive. The Pajama Program is a non-profit organization that provides new pajamas and books to children in need. Since 2009, our school has risen to the challenge and donated over two thousand pairs of new pajamas and Scholastic matched each pair with a new book donated directly to the Pajama Program. Our school, once again, wants to be a part of this drive so that we can help make a better bedtime for these children. Together with the community, we can help the Pajama Drive reach even more kids with pajamas and books. If you are able to participate, please bring in a new pair of pajamas to Carlyle Jr. High School by December 2nd. All sizes are needed -- from Newborn to Adult. If you have any questions, please call Mrs.Courtney Ibendahl at Carlyle Junior High at 618-594-2453 or email cibendahl@clinton.k12.il.us. Thank you for helping us share the gift of a good night’s sleep and a comforting bedtime story.

Ms. Ashley Smith finished her field experience in the 5th grade science classroom. She is pursuing an Elementary Education degree at Greenville University. Thank you for helping our students Ms. Smith!

CJHS picture retake day is set for November 2nd here at the junior high. We will be sending pictures home either today or tomorrow with the students.

Ms. Nielsen’s science class is busy learning about forces, motion and magnets. This week we explored the power of magnets and investigated first hand how these forces could be used to help us in our everyday lives. The students designed and created their own door locks that were controlled (locked/unlocked the door) by a magnet on the other side.

A little late with the picture due to absences but got them all here today… Congratulations to our September Students of the Month! CJHS is very proud of you!

5th grade used flashlights to represent the sun and globes to recreate Earth's rotation in Science today. They observed how the motion causes day and night.

Here is where our students will sit in the Gym when they arrive: 5th grade - North East corner of bleachers 6th grade - North West corner of the bleachers 7th grade - South East corner of the bleachers 8th grade- South West corner of the bleachers Students will be dismissed to Tribe Time when the bell rings at 7:50. Parents/Guardians please remind your students of this change taking place beginning Monday. Thank you!
