Class of 2030

What is your favorite thing about CJA?

My favorite thing about CJA is how the teachers are really nice. It’s fun going to school with my brothers. I see them in the halls, which is really nice. I always love walking down the halls because I get to look at all of my friends’ art outside of their classrooms.

How has your year been so far?

At first, it was kind of scary because I didn’t really know anyone at the school but my brothers and their teachers. It was hard to make friends at the beginning, but now I have them!

Why do you think it’s important that CJA now enrolls boys and girls?

It’s important that CJA began to enroll girls because girls need to learn too! Not all schools teach as well [as CJA], and since CJA only had a boys school at first, girls needed to come too.

What is one thing that you have learned from a CJA social worker?

I’ve learned that I can tell social workers anything that’s happening in my life. They are nice and safe adults to talk to.

Your teachers mentioned that you like Harry Potter. Have you read any of the Harry Potter books?

I love the one where on the cover he’s riding the phoenix. I forgot the name… it’s Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets!

What is your favorite subject?

I love Math. I like to learn multiplication problems and different Math games. Sometimes, we have challenging word problems where we have to do division, but it’s still fun.

What is your favorite grad-at-grad value?

My favorite grad-at-grad values are seeking intellectual excellence and being open to growth. To me, they really stand out because I can act them out when I do them.

What is something that you are thankful for?

I am thankful that I could enroll at CJA. When I had my [Cura Personalis] conference, my teacher told my mom all these positive things about my year!
