Be sure your kids have something to sign
It’s time to order your yearbook — go to ybpay.lifetouch.com and use school code 10746716 to order online. The yearbook committee also needs pictures from JYJevents. Please email pictures as “actual size” to Joyneryearbook@gmail.com so we can use them in the yearbook.
Love those fabulous teachers and staff this Friday
This Friday (Feb. 12) is early release and teacher/staff appreciation — the theme is “How sweet it is to be taught by you!” Have your child bring in some goodies or their teacher’s favorite sweet treat. Don’t forget to use the “Favorite Things” lists in your classroom hub for your teacher and designated staff person.
Get involved with PTA — or else
The Joyner PTA nominating committee is looking for volunteers to chair and assist with committees for next school year. Check out this list of elected officers and committee chairs and contact Catherine Otto at catherineeotto@gmail.com if you are interested in helping out — the PTA doesn’t work without you! Either you can wait until one of your friends signs you up for something or you can go ahead and pick the program you’d like — it’s up to you.
