MEMBERSHIP INFO

9th grade: To be eligible to qualify your first semester in 9th grade, you have to be an honorary member. To be an honorary member you have to have been a registered member for all 4 semesters of 7th and 8th grade.

I will forward your info to the HS so that they know you are an honorary member and you can sign up your first semester of 9th grade.

8th grade: I went back into your 7th grade grades and if you qualified, I will write it up as if you signed up those semesters so you can join in your first semester of 9th grade.

7th Grade: You have to apply every 2 quarters. Next time you apply will be when you come back for 8th grade, then again after you come back from Winter break.

Founded in 1967, CJSF fosters high standards of scholarship, service and citizenship in the middle school grades. Like CSF, CJSF emphasizes service to the school and the community while fostering pride in scholastic achievement. In recent years the rapid growth of the California Junior Scholarship Federation (CJSF) has greatly strengthened CSF.

What’s in it for you?

CJSF students may become Honor Award Members. Those who qualify have the Honor Award seal placed on their certificate of promotion and are eligible to wear the CJSF gold pin. CJSF also sponsors an awards program. Each year, advisers nominate Honor Award member for special recognition in the CJSF Outstanding Student Award program. All nominees are recognized at their spring conferences, receiving award certificates. Those selected as winners by regional subcommittees are presented with a $250 award and medallion, in addition to the certificate. In April, 1989, the state board of directors changed the name of the award to “The Marian Huhn Memorial Award,” in honor of Mrs. Marian Huhn, long-time CJSF adviser at St. Jeanne de Lestonnac School, Tustin, and CJSF state Registrar at the time of her death in November, 1988. The first Huhn Awards were presented at the 1990 spring regional conferences.

SERVICE AWARDS:

In addition to your grades, you can earn points towards scholarship via service. Rules for service are that it can’t be for a grade and it can’t be a paid job. Check the web page, listen to the announcements for upcoming opportunities to serve our community. BlakerKinser awards the student with the most hours of service. You will need to get a service tracker sheet so that I can prove your hours.
