Monday, September 30th is an A-Day

PTA FUNDRAISER!

Raise Craze is an online platform enabling students to set up secure, custom websites where they request donations via email. During the fundraiser, students pay it forward by completing Acts of Kindness for others.

We’re not selling cookies, magazines, candy or running laps. We’re promoting kindness! And isn’t that what we really need? Students register and ask for donations from family and friends for committing to doing acts of kindness, paying it forward. ALL STUDENTS CAN PARTICIPATE. While everyone may not be able to raise money, everyone can promote kindness! Sign up for the fundraiser and send out three emails to get a TJMS wrist band! Look for more information in the Patriot Post and your student’s Wednesday Packets.

PARENTS PLEASE REMEMBER-

YOUR IDENTIFICATION

is required in order to checkout your child from TJMS!!!

Please make sure your child’s contact information

is updated with our office.

Older siblings, other relatives and family friends are sent to pick up our students and they are not on the pick-up list, resulting in our office requiring to call the parent for approval.

Also, ANYONE who is approved on your child’s pick-up list

MUST bring their I.D. with them as well!!!!
