Briefs: Grant for JTHS students
The grant was awarded by the Will County Community Foundation.
The grant will fund a program that follows the YESS model of community collaboration to assist a specific need or population.
The program has five components which includes creating a position for a school completion officer; implementing an after school program which focuses on students' strengths and passions; providing opportunities for college and university field trips and service learning opportunities; and participating in a manners and etiquette program.
The Texas-size dinner is a way to thank veterans for their service to the country.
All veterans who show up in uniform (or with military identification) will be honored guests for dinner.
