November 5, 2023

Hello Justice HS Students, Families, and Community Members:

The start of the second quarter is a pivotal moment at Justice High School, as it marks the time when students can renew their commitment to attending school every day. As we prepare for upcoming holiday breaks, consistent attendance is more important than ever to safeguard a successful learning experience for our students.

I also would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to the Justice community for the ongoing support of our academic and extracurricular programs. Your support plays a crucial role in the success of our students and helps create a positive and enriching educational environment for everyone.

Thank you for being a part of our wonderful community, and we look forward to a fantastic second quarter ahead!

Justice Girls Lacrosse

Justice Girls Lacrosse is hosting a Fall Clinic on November 13^th – 15^th from 6:00 - 8:00 PM at Justice High School! This clinic is open to anyone, but we are targeting girls in grades 5^th – 8^th in the Justice Pyramid.

• No experience or equipment is required
• The cost is $52 and includes a t-shirt

Lacrosse is a growing sport in the country and will be a part of the 2028 Summer Olympics. We are hoping to grow the sport in our community and give girls the opportunity to try a new sport and express themselves in a new way.

In the past five years, our Varsity team has made history and we are hoping to continue the success each year. We most recently finished our season as National District Runner-Ups and Occoquan Region Semi-Finalists and with the National District Player and Coach of the Year!

HOLIDAY TREE SALES HAVE STARTED - HELP our school-community programs AND bring some CHEER into your home by ordering a fresh-cut Frasier Fir evergreen tree. Decorate your tree with whatever theme suits you! Black, red, and green for Kwanzaa? Blue and white for Hanukkah? Gold and silver for Christmas? Yellow for New Years? Pink and purple for the fun of it? Anything goes!

Pay similar prices to Meadows Farms, but the profit will instead be a donation to support our community! Order a 6-7 ft., 7-8 ft., or 8-9 ft. Frasier Fir tree (these are the same trees sold at Meadows Farms) online between October 25 and November 21. Pick it up in the Justice High School Parking lot on December 1 between 4pm and 7pm (rain or shine). The trees come pre-wrapped and there will be helper elves (and twine) to help you load it into or onto your vehicle as you come through the drive-thru line. You can also order a tree to donate and we will ensure that it is delivered to a school family.
