Rafer Johnson Jr. High School - December 2013

Winter Olympics!

The Olympian Parent Club, Leadership, and CJSF worked hard on the float for this year’s Santa Lucia Parade. The theme was Winter Olympics. Stacey Scheidt, The Olympian Parent Club (OPC) Co-President organized the float this year.

We had a great turn out of parent and student help! We have a great team that works together to make RJJH shine! Thank you for all of you work and effort to help us be a great success in this year’s parade.

Parent University– Rafer Partners with CSUF

Parent University Comes to Rafer! We began a partnership with CSUF to bring parent University to RJJH. Fresno State provided us with a grant to hold a digital parent class.
The classes began on Thursday, December 5th. There will be 6 classes. The classes are taught in Spanish. The focus in the class is to teach parents computer and internet skills. We had 15 parents show up the first night! Classes are 2 1/2 hours long.

We are excited to offer this at Rafer. If this classes continues to be successful we will look at adding more classes in the Spring of 2014.
