It symbolizes all the silenced voices of MMIP and a call for action.
We are the voices for those who were silenced by wearing the red hand.
When you wear the red hand you bring awareness and it sparks the question "why?"
Which leads to educating and working toward change.

MMIW (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women) is a movement pushing for awareness and change across Canada and the United States, so that Native women can be protected and respected. In some areas of the United States, Indigenous women are murdered at 10 times the national average, with most crimes against them committed on Native land by non-Natives.
The media barely covers crimes affecting Indigenous women, and communication issues between tribal, local, and state law enforcement make things worse.
In recent years, awareness and demands for justice have been slowly swelling, with many on social media and beyond choosing to wear red handprints across their mouths and matching red dresses, as a way of showing solidarity and spreading awareness of the MMIW epidemic.

MMIW (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women) is a movement pushing for awareness and change across Canada and the United States, so that Native women can be protected and respected. In some areas of the United States, Indigenous women are murdered at 10 times the national average, with most crimes against them committed on Native land by non-Natives.
The media barely covers crimes affecting Indigenous women, and communication issues between tribal, local, and state law enforcement make things worse.
In recent years, awareness and demands for justice have been slowly swelling, with many on social media and beyond choosing to wear red handprints across their mouths and matching red dresses, as a way of showing solidarity and spreading awareness of the MMIW epidemic.
Art club is canceled today. Please arrange for transportation home.

American Indian and Alaska Native people are at a disproportionate risk of experiencing violence, murder, or going missing and make up a significant portion of the missing and murdered cases. This issue has sparked a national awareness campaign and grassroots movement aimed at raising awareness, advocating for justice, and addressing the root causes of violence against Indigenous women. To show awareness there is a day to show support for MMIW, May 5th. Wear red on Monday May 5th to show support and awareness.

Frederick McKinley Jones
Before Frederick McKinley Jones developed the automatic refrigeration equipment used in long-haul trucks that transport perishables in the late 1940s, the only way to keep food cold en route to delivery destinations was by using ice. Thanks to his invention, grocery stores were able to buy and sell products (many of which you probably purchase regularly) from far distances without the risk of them spoiling during transport. Jones’ technology was also used to transport blood during World War II.

Known fondly as the Father of Ice Cream, Augustus Jackson was an African American businessperson, chef, ice cream maker, and confectioner from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. While he did not invent ice cream itself, he is credited as inventing a modern method of manufacturing ice cream that continues till this day. He revolutionized the ice cream making process by using salt to make the ice melt slower. This allowed it to stay cold for a longer period of time. Also, most early ice cream recipes used eggs but Augustus’s recipes were eggless.His ice cream making process and "Philadelphia style” recipes forever changed how ice cream is enjoyed around the world.

Today marks the first school day of Black History Month. It was established by scholar Carter G. Woodson to highlight the significant contributions of African Americans to the United States—achievements that were often overlooked in history books. This month-long observance honors Black individuals from all eras of U.S. history, from the enslaved people brought from Africa in the early 17th century to the many trailblazers in fields such as science, art, politics, law, and entertainment today. It serves as a powerful reminder that Black history is an integral part of American history.
Congratulations to our CJH FBLA members who qualified for state at the Regional conference on Saturday. We are so proud of you:

{Wednesday} Varsity soccer started the season off strong with a 2-0 win over a quality Enumclaw middle school team. Sloan, Char, and Austin held down the back line while Maddie and Vada both dominated the midfield ruining any chance for EMS to get to goal. Sydney and Mailee might as well have been filming a TikTok with the way they danced around the EMS defenders on their way to scoring goals. Well done ladies!
{Added for Wed 1.29} Last Thursday, the boy's swim team had an amazing senior night performance against Steilacoom, winning 107-76 and getting first place in 9 out of 11 events. Nearly everyone had personal best times, and congratulations to Traysen, Eddy, Micah, and Sam for qualifying their medley relay to state! Great job seniors! Come out to Clover Park Pool this Thursday to cheer the boys on in their final regular season meet.
