On February 17, 2006 students and staff went on a tour of the underground railroad in Burlington City and visited four different historical sites including Burlington Island which records show had slaves present on the island as early as 1664. We had lunch and continued on, ending our trip at Timbuctoo. This was an old settlement that still contains the graves of blacks that fought in the Civil War. It was a very interesting and knowledgeable trip and I learned a lot that day.

The Flower Show was an exciting event, full of beautiful, colorful things to see. It showed off a lot of talent. It consisted of five categories they are Foliage, Bonsai, Flowering and Dish Garden. There were some very interesting plants. After all the plants were presented we had an award ceremony. There were awards in 1st., 2nd., 3rd. 4th., and 5th. place. Ms. Brigite, Ms. Yvonne presented awards. Mr. Beyers spoke to us. Administration was proud of us as part of JJC and our creativity to make the masterpieces.
