WAKE Up and Read Book Drive
We are excited to partner with WAKE Up and Read to support building home libraries for kids across our district. Two boxes have been placed outside of the front entrance of our school. We will be reporting weekly totals on the WJYJ news so stay tuned. Families may drop off new or gently used books for kids.
The winning group with the most books collected will get a read-aloud from a special guest and a shoutout on the WJYJ news. Each year Joyner makes one of the largest contributions to putting priceless literature in children’s hands across Wake County. We are excited to take action as a school family and give back to others in our local community.
WAKE Up and Read Book Drive will go until February 28th.
Families can tag us @joyner_magnet_elementary on our Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook page! #JoynerStrong #ThePeopleMakeThePlace #WUARBookDrive

Foundation Updates
Mark your calendars: The Joyner Foundation is hosting our Annual Silent Auction on Thursday, April 22, 2021! We are excited to be organizing this event for another year in support of our loved Joyner Elementary. There are immediate ways for you to get involved and support this effort!
Help us Secure Our Silent Auction Themed Baskets
We are again collecting and creating some great themed baskets to be raffled off as part of the event. We have appreciated your generous donations and support in pulling these baskets together in years past and would love help at any level you are able to provide for this year’s baskets.
- We have set up an Amazon Wishlist and from the Wishlist, you can order and ship items directly to us to be used in any of these baskets. Click to find our Amazon Wishlist: JYJ Foundation Silent Auction Basket.
- We are also adding an option to donate through Venmo for some selected items and just general donations to be used towards any basket. All Venmo donations can be sent to @Katie-Cork. Please remember to include with all Venmo donations the selected Themed Basket and the item you wish to donate towards (refer to the basket signups linked below and in the JY Joyner Memberhub for specific items) or just note “General Basket Donation” and we will fill in the gaps!
- We also love when families have other new items to donate to fill these baskets! If you have something additional you’d like to contribute please email Katie Cork (contact info in email) to coordinate pickup/drop-off.
Signups and details on the items for each Themed Baskets can be found in the JY Joyner Memberhub and under Signups or through the links below:
