9/11 Remembrance Ceremony
A wonderful job by Cub Scout Pack 3141 to organize a 9/11 remembrance ceremony outside of the CIS building on Sept. 11. Jordak students all came out to witness the event. The Troy Township Fire Department rang a bell in honor of those fire fighters who lost their lives that day in 2001.
Members of Pack 3141 raised and then lowered an American flag, JES music teacher Joel Kithcart sang the national anthem, there was a prayer from a local pastor, memories of the day were shared from a current service member and a wreath was laid at the base of the flag while ninth-grader Anthony L. played “Taps” in the background. It was an honor to have so many law enforcement agencies, service members and veterans on hand for the event as well.
Walk-A-Thon Raises Thousands
Jordak Elementary School students had a gorgeous and warm day for their first ever walk-a-thon fundraiser on Sept. 14. Students in grades three and four walked around the CHS track in the morning and K-2 students walked in the afternoon.
When they weren’t walking laps, students were able to enjoy some fun field activities such as bubbles, an obstacle course and hula hoops. The Jordak PTO did an outstanding job organizing the walk and everyone is grateful to Trumbull Memorial Hospital for helping to sponsor the first-time event.
Congratulations to second-grader Charles A. for raising the most donations for the entire school. He was able to lead the K-2 students from Jordak up to the high school track for the walk. Fourth-graders Elli D. and Logan E. raised the most money out of the third and fourth grades and led their walkers. All money raised goes right back to the school.
