Conrady held a Basketball Bonanza Friday with a fundraiser for PBIS programs that included basketball games between the 8th Grade Boys and Girls teams as well as against the teachers. Organizers held a free throw and 3-point shooting contest, a scooter race and prizes and snacks galore. Thanks again to all the PBIS Ambassadors, teachers, and staff who made it a fun day.
House Bill 6193 was signed by Governor Pat Quinn on January 24, 2013. This law requires schools to implement an age-appropriate sexual assault and abuse awareness and prevention curriculum for grades pre-K through 12. It is recommended that four communications per year on Erin’s Law be made available to all students. Victor Pacini, a survivor of sexual abuse, author and motivational speaker, will be assisting Conrady Junior High School in implementing this mandate.

The Jaguars took the lead before half-time and held on for a 41-35 win at home. The 8th Grade Boys faced an uphill battle all night, pulling within 5 points late in the game before Palos sealed the win in the waning minutes. The Lady Jaguars also faced a tough match-up in Palos, with the Girls' 7th and 8th Grade Volleyball teams dropping both contests. The teams will face Oak Lawn-Hometown on Thursday.
The committee meeting will run from approximately 5:30-6:20 on Tuesday, January 21 at Oak Ridge School. Additional meetings will be held as needed.

If you are interested in attending this meeting and/or serving on this committee, please contact your child's building principal no later than Friday, January 17 so that we may plan accordingly.
Principal Adrienne Pavek (above) gamely accepts a pie in the face from Armandas Kirvelaitis during the PBIS assembly held at Conrady Tuesday. As part of a welcome back to school celebration that focused on positive behavior models, students got the chance to play games, sing songs, and dance before heading back to classes after Winter Break. A raffle was also held so a few lucky students got the chance to heave a whip cream pie in the face of their favorite teachers and administrators.
Conrady students put their best feet forward Friday as they put on a dazzling display of talent for the Winter Break Assembly. The Jaguar Dance teams, combined bands, choirs and even some improv presentations delighted the crowd of students, family, and staff. Congratulations to the hard-working staff and students for putting on a terrific show.
The sounds of the season echoed in the hallways Tuesday as Conrady band members serenaded students with holiday tunes. The students also made trips to other elementary schools in the district to brighten the elementary school hallways. Nice job!
Conrady students took turns in the spotlight Friday for the Jaguar Spelling Bee.
