Thank You for Making JYJ’s Book Fair a Success!
The JYJ 2019 Book Fair was a great success – we thank everyone for contributing your time and financial support! A big THANK YOU to Laura Moreschi and Leslie de Haven for their leadership and countless hours spent ensuring the event’s success.
With everyone’s donations of change and purchase round ups, we were able to ensure that all children were able to purchase a book. Many thanks again!

Lost and Found Items
