Thank You for Supporting Joyner’s Book Fair at Quail Ridge Books Thank you to all who were able to support Joyner through the book fair with Quail Ridge Books. The Quail Ridge staff was impressed with our turnout and with our community’s generosity through the Book Fairy program. Happy Reading!
Easy ways to support JYJ through your holiday shopping & beyond
Did you know that by shopping at Amazon, Shutterfly, and Harris Teeter, you can support the PTA? For every purchase you make, those corporations donate a percentage directly to Joyner PTA. It requires minimal setup from you, and Joyner benefits!
Use the links below to connect your purchases to Joyner:
- Joyner Amazon Smile shopping account– Amazon donates 0.5% of purchases to Joyner.
- Harris Teeter– VIC card link (number 1988) – When you shop Harris Teeter brands, a percentage of your purchase is donated to the school that your VIC card is linked to.
- JYJ Shutterfly Shopping Account– Shutterfly donates 8% of purchases to Joyner.
Every dollar matters even more this year, so please participate!

IB Learner Profile Trait of the Month: Open-Minded
We critically appreciate our own cultures and personal histories, as well as the values and traditions of others. We seek and evaluate a range of points of view, and we are willing to grow from the experience.
December is the perfect month to have open conversations with friends about their traditions and culture. Allow them the opportunity to grow and understand themselves and find similarities and differences by being open-minded. Share cultural and personal values and traditions in class and at home.
