CJHS-Webster Educational Partnership

Seniors from CJHS meet with eighth grade students from Webster Middle School in Waukegan to explore issues of education together and learn from each other’s unique perspectives.  Last year, we kicked off the partnership with each school by visiting the other school.  We viewed and discussed Freedom Writers, a film about building understanding between different ethnic groups through education, and we made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for a local homeless shelter.
