Watch the SJRCS 60th Anniversary VideoOur National Junior Honor Society will be collecting used mascara wands for the Appalachian Wildlife Refuge during the month of September. The recycled mascara wands are used to clean and comfort injured and orphaned animals receiving care. Please send used mascara wands to the school office c/o NJHS. The NJHS members will clean and ship the recycled wands. Cash donations are also happily accepted.
