Soaring Students:
First semester honor roll assembly: 168 students are on the first semester honor roll. The students’ accomplishments were celebrated in an assembly on Friday in the Patio during 10th and 11th periods. The students on the 1st Semester Honor Roll finished with an A/B average (no C’s). Congratulations to the students for their tremendous work and dedication.
Math Club:
Our Math club participated in a math competition on Friday. 13 students competed in the WYSE competition held at Wright College. This competition is sponsored by the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign to raise interest in Engineering. Students compete in subjects like math, biology, chemistry, physics, English, and computer science. They take a 45 minute written exam for each subject. There were seven schools that participated; including St. Ignatius, St. Francis and others. We were the only Chicago Public School in the competition. The competition includes individual and team challenges. Most of our students took 1st, 2nd, 3rd place in the different subjects, and as a school we were able to take 1st in one of the competitions. Our students will be competing again in the regionals on March 18. See Mr. Manjarrez for more information.

Led by all-conference senior Orbel Vera (5th at 112) and Miguel Rodriguez (one win away from placing at city at 140), the wrestling team looks to end strong with four more dual meets this week, the frosh-soph city tourney on Saturday Jan 30, and then the 3A regional on February 6 at St. Ignatius.

School-Wide Study Session:
1. About a month ago members of the student development committee presented a great idea to help their peers focus on and pass the final exams. Concerned about their peers, students Karen Morales, Jessenia Martinez, Alma Sotelo and others thought that the best way to do this is to organize a school-wide “study session” that focuses on the final exams. This is a great event organized by students for students.
Wrestling:
2. The 2009-2010 wrestling season has been exciting for your Juarez Eagles. The team is 11-1 in dual meets this season and undefeated in conference going 5-0. There has been a great home crowd following which has brought excitement to all our home matches. The Eagles have had some great matches this season with seniors Orbel Vera, Miguel Rodriguez, Gonzalo Roman, Adolfo Flores, and Julian Velasquez. These seniors are backed up by an outstanding Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen. With the season coming close to an end we look forward to the wrestlers doing well at city and regionals. The first night of city will be held at Juarez on Friday January 22 starting at 4 p.m. With the Championships at Chicago State University on Saturday starting at 9 a.m. Followed up by the Sophomore Tournament on Saturday January 30 9a.m. at Crane High School. Then Juarez enters the state series with regionals being held at St. Ignatius High School on Saturday February 6. Anyone interested in supporting or coming out for wrestling are encouraged to talk to the wrestlers or Coach Antesberger and Coach Ramirez about the greatest and "oldest sport in the world".
