We are in need of someone to coordinate volunteers for various events and committees.  This can be done from the comfort of your favorite chair on your computer and phone and will make a HUGE difference for our school!  For more information, please contact Michelle Huntington.

“America has developed a pie tradition unequivocally and unapologetically at the sweet end of the scale, and at no time is this better demonstrated than at Thanksgiving.”

― Janet Clarkson, Pie: A Global History

PIE.  You like Pie.  I like pie.  We all like pie.  So we are going to have a pie sale.  Just in time for Turkey Day, which should really be renamed PIE DAY.  It’s coming in a few weeks.  Watch your email for PIE updates and your child’s backpack for a flyer.  In addition to the old fashioned form, you will be able to order and pay online this year, because there is nothing better than buying pie over the internet at 10pm in your fuzzy pajamas, dreaming of how your home will smell like a veritable pie smorgasbord come Thanksgiving.

One thing Parent Club does is provide valuable school items for our kids through the fundraisers.  They include: the Art Lit kiln and supplies, iPads, Chromebooks, projectors, Smartboards, an electric piano for band and so much more.  The meetings are once a month, usually on Wednesday, and can be found here.  Our first meeting is Wednesday, Sept. 24 at 9:30am in the LJHS Conference Room.  For more information or to join, click here.

* If you are a member of parent club and haven’t received your welcome letter, please contact Susan Marek.  We have had some email addresses come back as invalid and want to check that we have the correct email for you.

We need volunteers!
