Pajama Day – Show your commitment to being drug free by putting drugs to rest and wear your pajamas.
NJHS students will take pledges from students to be drug free by having them sign their name on a red strip of paper during lunch hours. The paper strips will be put together to make a paper chain showing our schools commitment to being drug free. NJHS students would like to display the chain in the hallway around the school. Pledging to be drug free will also allow you to enter to be a contestant in the relay races that will be played during lunch hours on Wednesday.
